The suggestion earlier in this thread to allow kill -9 to make the process go away while leaving some tiny stub to cleanup after it when the wait finally does finish seemed perfectly reasonable to me, and not all that radical. After all, the kill -9 is going to get queued up anyway and take the process out as soon as it does stop waiting, so whatever the application is doing is already doomed why make the whole process and all of its resources hang around? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
