Now i have been "smart" to open the ssh session BEFORE i start X. I have the 9.1 on runlevel 3 for starters, and open two ssh terminals. One doung a top -i and the other for a prompt to kill or whatever needed. But still, as the system grinds (see other post regarding y2base) i loose connection via ssh. It just drops. So i cant use that to kill anything. :( -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@xxxxxxxxx Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 > ___________________________________________________ .
