I've got a backup script that is running trhu crontab, and now I noted

to kill them, but I'm unable. Trying with kill and killall but cannot see
the process dying ..... Such processes use tar to make the backup on an
IDE disk. I'm using ubuntu 6.06. Any idea about?
First try a kill -QUIT a couple of times, eg:
kill -QUIT 4324
(where 4324 is the process ID, use ps -ef to find it)
If that still doesn't work, then you may have to resort to -KILL:
kill -KILL 4324
Using -KILL is always a last resort. It will kill the process without
cleaning up any files that it was using, so it may leave it in a bad
or even unusable state; beware.
I've tried to kill the process either with quit or kill but the process are
still there, listed in the process table (I can see them with ps).
