Definately not the cleanest/best. What's wrong with -HUP. -KILL [aka -9] give no chance for proper file closure and cleanup. It should be the kill of last resort. Someday you will have to clean up a mess [usually the best way to be sure is a restart] where the -KILL leave lock files, etc., strewn about. -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
