Though you have used -STOP on the process youll still have to -CONT after the -KILL for it to actually exit since the process is effectively stopped its not going to abide by any further signals until it recieves -CONT. Anyway now you know not to use -STOP on that process ;) Is it supposed to do anything with the stop signal ? has it been documented in VB ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
