As root I execute this command: kill `ps -auwx | grep -i perl | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'` The result is a couple of errors, complaining about non-existant PID's, but still loads of perl-processes continue running (and consume memory). Am I missing something here or has this system become so unstable as there's nothing else to do but trash it????
