Re: Bad processes in Fedora 2

[Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith@ieee.org>]

Sometimes, if a process has a device open, it may not kill a process right away.
You may also wish to try to unload the kernel module providing the device.
Utilities like 'lsof' also help to identify what processes have what files open, including device and socket nodes.

Subj:  Bad processes in Fedora 2

Sometime I'll be using grip and it will hang. So I'll do an XKill and
then go to a terminal and do a ps -A. In the process list, there will be
a process labeled grip. I will do a kill -9 as my normal user and when
that doesn't do anything, I'll do it as root. However, it still doesn't
make the process go away. I thought that kill -9 was the end all, be
all, of process termination. Any thoughts?
