hi all:
i have a strange problem, one process in my machine can not be killed.
i have used kill -9 pid,
kill -KILL pid
kill -SIGKILL pid
just not work, any one know why?
Well, first of all, do you have permission to kill this process - i.e.
are you trying this as root or as the owner of the process?
Secondly, have you checked - e.g. via /top/ - whether this process might
be zombie'd? If it _is_ a zombie process, then you can't get rid of it
unless you reboot.
Actually, you sometimes can. If you kill the parent (assuming you can do
that, and are willing to do it), then init will inherit it and init will get
it off.
The big problem is if the program is stuck in D state...
Hope this helps... ;-)
