OK, so I understand you can't kill a process in a 'D' state. That makes sense.
But, why can't you kill a process in state 'R'? This is what ps aux shows: ftp 899 64.9 0.2 4164 2216 ? RNs Jun12 27137:59 proftpd: (accepting connections) BTW, top shows that process taking 100% CPU. Hmm...proftpd, oddly enough (as was the subject of the other recent thread). Plain kill won't work. Kill -9 will not kill it. Right now, I have it set at the lowest possible priority, until I get a chance to reboot the machine, but is there anyway to kill an 'R' process when kill -9 won't work? j -- Joshua Kugler Lead System Admin -- Senior Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0xDB26D7CE PO Box 80086 -- Fairbanks, AK 99708 -- Ph: 907-456-5581 Fax: 907-456-3111 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
