Maybe because the poster spoofed his own email address? ;-) FIRST... Switch to that tty (on the local console of course) and verify that Scroll Lock is not on. You can kill as many processes as you want and that tty will still appear hung :-) Next... From a working terminal, issue the command: % ps -axl | grep v2 That will give you a list of processes running on ttyv2, and will also give you a good indication of which ones are hung, and why. Read grep(1) for more options, and an explanation of the output. Or, if you are feeling particularly brazen, just start issuing kill -9's. (Generally, start at the deepest level of recursion. If your editor hung, kill that. Then kill the shell, then kill getty on that term if necessary). - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
