Unfortunately no trinity process can be killed as soon as that happen. Neither pgrep, pkill, nor "ps -efla" do return any result. Killing any of those processes by its pid won't work too. > Maybe we can teach triniy to no change the stub page. > I'm sure trinity has also a mechanism to not destroy the stack. @trinity Mailing list What do you think about that ? -- MfG/Sincerely Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe trinity" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
