I have done some experiments here and the results are (all run as a *regular user*): o if 'kill -9 -1' is run from the console it kills every other process belonging to the user (but not the calling process). o if 'kill -9 -1' is run from an xterm window, X is dead but it leaves the console in an unusable state (it *is* possible to ctrl-alt-del and reboot the system, though. Don't know how I managed to crash it last time). Thanks, -- Nimrod. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
