If you know the name of the process you may use 'killall -9 processname'. SIGHUP I always call 'kill -HUP pidofprocess'. Or 'killall -HUP processname'. SIGHUP will restart the process after it has died. Such as one does with gdm-binary when meeting some unfortunate driver issue and you want to restart the process rather than kill it off entirely. > And once I get this as I want it, how do I run it at system boot? You could put it in /etc/rc.local Simply append '/usr/sbin/miredo to the end of /etc/rc.local HTH Alex White -- ethericalzen@xxxxxxxxx Life is a prison, death is a release _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
