i was waiting for fetchmail to finish; i sent it STOP signal via keyboard; did something unrelated. afterwords, in ksh93, i tried "jobs", nothing appeared. so thinking that fetchmail was done -- tried fetchmail again which on exit, informed me that another fetchmail process was already running. tried jobs again, still no sign of fetchmail; finally tried ps which showed old fetchmail process with status T(stopped). "well, ok. so it's stopped; will send it a CONT signal" i thought. # kill -s SIGCONT 647 # 647 - pid of the first fetchmail proc on which ksh93 barked back that there is no SIGCONT signal. "heck with it; will use bash" i was irritated now. well, that worked, same command as above. guess, next time i will just use /bin/kill next time. just venting... talking of which... is -questions the right mailing list for such vents? - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
