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
seems a w32 or perhaps a backdoor seen the process run to ftp.
If you post us the process that top displaying you, please?
