George, I see the executable running. I missed it when I first run the 'ps aux' command. I see that this process is been running since march 16 Must be some process running wild. I will kill it.

However there should be another process which is the actually binary running itself. In my system for example: [georgios@slartibartfast xsltmodule]$ ps aux | grep firefox | grep -v grep georgios 26071 0.0 0.0 105580 1300 ? S 17:07 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib64/firefox-3.5/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib64/firefox-3.5/firefox georgios 26086 6.4 1.0 751968 86940 ? Rl 17:07 0:13 /usr/lib64/firefox-3.5/firefox The latter is the actual binary running. Why? You do not see the Firefox window? -- Best regards, -- George Magklaras BSc (Hons) MPhil RHCE IT Systems Manager/Senior Systems Engineer The Biotechnology Center of Oslo University of Oslo http://www.biotek.uio.no http://www.no.embnet.org http://folk.uio.no/georgios -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
