Thus spake Corey Brune <brune@sdf.lonestar.org>: > Your process is trying to exit. Try killing the child (pid 27200) first- this will eliminate > possible zombies, and then check if the parent had died. A process cannot be "trying" to exit with a kill -KILL like he had sent, regardless of the number of child processes or the state of the child processes. There's something else going on if it is a system issue at all. Also, how will killing a child process possibly -eliminate- zombies, unless the child itself is a parent to a zombie process? -- Ryan Cheshire Younce | "This option may be useful if file system changes have ryan @ manunkind.org | been made manually or if the processor is on fire." manunkind.org/~ryan/ | --reboot(2), 4.4BSD, on the RB_NOSYNC option flag To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
