I often end up with unkillable processes from gnome, where kill -9 won't get rid of them. This seems to only happen on remote X terminals (e.g. LTSP), and only when I logout with a gnome application still running that I have forgotten about. Is there any way to get rid of these short of rebooting? While this is not a business machine, I hate interrupting seti@home and folding@home :-) I have RedHat 7.3 with Ximian Desktop 2: magicdev-0.3.6-6 nautilus-2.2.4-0.ximian.4.7 BTW, free RedHat 7.3 support ends tonight. What are other people doing for free or low cost source of support (as in updates) for home use of Gnome 2? I like RPM - and building source RPMS that support my distro is no problem. I have been handling security updates (for sendmail, openssh, openssl, etc) to RedHat 6.2 myself with no problem at work (and will probably continue that way for RH72 and RH73). However, I tend to get confused trying to get these GUI systems compiled and integrated. The company offering $5/mo security updates doesn't cover upgrading/fixing Gnome. ps -fu stuart: stuart 19022 1 0 Dec30 ? 00:00:04 magicdev --sm-config-prefix /mag stuart 21389 1 0 09:59 ? 00:00:00 magicdev --sm-config-prefix /mag stuart 21391 1 0 09:59 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nau stuart 21532 1 0 10:01 ? 00:00:00 magicdev --sm-config-prefix /mag stuart 21534 1 0 10:01 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nau stuart 21685 1 0 10:03 ? 00:00:00 magicdev --sm-config-prefix /mag stuart 21687 1 0 10:03 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nau stuart 21901 1 0 10:07 ? 00:00:00 magicdev --sm-config-prefix /mag stuart 21903 1 0 10:07 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nau stuart 22060 1 0 10:09 ? 00:00:00 magicdev --sm-config-prefix /mag stuart 22062 1 0 10:09 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nau stuart 22225 1 0 10:12 ? 00:00:00 magicdev --sm-config-prefix /mag stuart 22229 1 0 10:12 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nau /proc/19022/status: Name: magicdev State: D (disk sleep) Tgid: 19022 Pid: 19022 PPid: 1 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 902 902 902 902 Gid: 101 101 101 101 FDSize: 32 Groups: 101 5 500 23 501 502 VmSize: 6932 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 2656 kB VmData: 504 kB VmStk: 84 kB VmExe: 24 kB VmLib: 5820 kB SigPnd: 0000000000004100 SigBlk: 0000000080000000 SigIgn: 8000000000001000 SigCgt: 00000000000004c0 CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 0000000000000000 CapEff: 0000000000000000 -- Stuart D.
