Hi, I have a problem this morning. I created a perl script to make a backup copy of some files. The destination was a remote server (win2k) using a NFS mount. The win2k server has fallen over during the process and I can't terminate the backup script that was run via cron. If I df, my terminal freezes. lsof never returns. kill -9 doesn't do anything and I tried to kill -9 the parent, crond. The parent is now inetd. It doesn't show in ipcs -a. I can't do a reboot the linux box until much later tonight when everyone is off and I can't put the windows box on the network as it will fall over again if the above process is still running. Does anyone know how I can stop this process? Thanx.
