Hello. On SuSE 10 machine, a process (a bash shell) that has been (in)active for about 8 days can not be killed: Killing it, even as root, doesn't kill the process (but doesn't give an error either). Worse, the ghost process causes 'ps aux' to hang in such a way that the terminal window can't do anything (and needs to be killed) and the same happens when I try to access /proc/<pid>. It's not really causing any performance problems at the moment, but since I need to run ps regularly it'd be nice if the issue could be solved, preferably in a neater way than rebooting. Any suggestions? Thanks. Martijn. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
