I know my subject line is a little melodramatic, but this is really frustrating. I frequently have processes that killall doesn't kill and kill -9 <pid> doesn't touch. For instance, this is taken from top:
24135 root 16 0 229m 35m 1064 S 0.3 59.7 8:52.11 javadoc I have Cntrl+C on the emerge (five minutes ago) and I've issued multiple killall javadocs and kill -9 24135 and still it runs. Is there a way of getting rid of this process short of rebooting the machine? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
