Lately I've been getting a considerable number of defunct processes. I do not know of any major event that changed my computer (ie it is not related to an ports update or a freeBSD upgrade).
This is often caused by me killing the process using kill -15 or kill -3 or kill -9. What can I do to determine why processes are not getting killed by kill -9? % ps -o ppid -o comm|grep defunct|cut -d ' ' -f 1 |xargs kill -9 typically gets rid of them (by killing their parent) -- Eitan Adler _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
