Hi, I'm trying to kill a process on my box, but when I try 'kill xxxx', it doesn't go away. Is there another way to get rid of it, short of restarting the box? -- John C. Nichel KegWorks.com 716.856.9675 john(a)kegworks.com

'kill -9 xxxx' should do the trick. Use it sparingly though. -- JB

kill -9 xxxx if that doesn't work you've got serious problems and should reboot.
