good point. so i found two offending processes in state D: root 24520 0.0 0.9 1652 904 ? D Feb25 0:00 /bin/gawk root 25890 0.0 0.7 1652 764 ? D 00:01 0:00 sh /etc/ppp/ip-up however, a kill -9 on either one doesn't delete them, i cannot delete it's directory in /proc (as works on solaris 2.6), and to the best of my knowledge, these processes won't go away. any tips, other than to reboot? martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- oxymoron: micro$oft works
