Is there another solution than using kill -9? What specifically do you mean by "my server does not respond anymore"? Because if "the server" really doesn't respond anymore, you can't even issue "kill -9".The term "server" can mean different things: 1) A role in an interaction between two programs. The "client" is the one which issues requests, and the "server" is the one which fullfills them. 2) A program which is intended for the server role. Note that a program can be a server for one protocol and a client for another (e.g., a database server can be a DNS or LDAP client). (And some programs are even server and client for the same protocol) 3) A machine intended for running server programs. You are thinking of the 3rd meaning. My guess is that Albert meant the first.
And maybe he's referring to his client software... That's why I asked him for clarification.
