Hi again, Somehow, it seems that one of my users must've gotten disconnected, but my system isn't aware of it. It's showing a 4-day idle time for him: [145]root@voyager:/root # w tazq 12:27AM up 45 days, 15:19, 6 users, load averages: 0.08, 0.05, 0.07 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT tazq p6 dial-104.perth.n Sat09PM 4days (tcsh) tazq p8 dial-104.perth.n Sat04PM 4days (tcsh) And when I try to kill processed owned by him on those tty's, with a kill -9, I don't get an error message, but the processes simply will not die. Two of his processes don't even seem to exist: [149]root@voyager:/root # ps aux | grep tazq tazq 11534 0.0 0.0 0 0 p8- Z+ - 0:00.00 (pine4) tazq 21292 0.0 0.0 0 0 p6- Z+ - 0:00.00 (pine4) tazq 11532 0.0 0.6 552 728 p8- IEs+ - 0:00.00 (tcsh) tazq 21290 0.0 0.6 552 728 p6- IEs+ - 0:00.00 (tcsh) So I try to kill 'em all... [150]root@voyager:/root # kill -9 11534 21292 11532 21290 11534: No such process 21292: No such process Two error messages, two not, but all 4 still exist... [151]root@voyager:/root # ps aux | grep tazq tazq 11534 0.0 0.0 0 0 p8- Z+ - 0:00.00 (pine4) tazq 21292 0.0 0.0 0 0 p6- Z+ - 0:00.00 (pine4) tazq 11532 0.0 0.6 552 728 p8- IEs+ - 0:00.00 (tcsh) tazq 21290 0.0 0.6 552 728 p6- IEs+ - 0:00.00 (tcsh) Any suggestions on how to get rid of these ghosties?
