I don't know all the implications of the kill command and it's parameters however from what I've been told and what I've seen, a -9 is usually the last resort of killing a process. Some can just take a plain sighup -1 in the case of a bash process it will reset it and kill the console connection. If you do a kill -1 pid_of_named it will re-read the named.conf configuration files like if you add new zones. If you want to kill a process that will not work right with a -1 then -TERM -15 will do the trick. And then if those don't work I resort to a -9 to really force it to die. Just my 2 cents worth. -- Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. Enjoy that gift, that's why it's called the present. Raul A. Gallegos http://www.asmodean.net/contact.html
