I have a process loopd that I just can't seem to kill with any command I've used. I've sent it every imaginable form of kill signal so far and it simply does not respond. vmstat gives this output: procs memory swap io system cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id 0 0 1 224 2856 16836 303504 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 showing that the process is swapped out. I tracked down messages in /var/log/messages, since recent upgrades I've been receiving the modprobe errors - cannot locate net-pf-10. I added a line in the /etc/modprobe.conf to alias net-pf-10 to 'off' (death to ipv6), and since then I've received no more errors, but the process still hovers about consuming 70-95% CPU utilization. I''ve searched the net and found similar problems and all they've offered as solutions is to reboot. This is a critical server and while slow, it still serves its purpose, I could (shoudl) reboot it only during the weekend. Is there no other way ?? -- Herbert Michael Kunzmann Binary Chaos Magician -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
