From: jny0 on 8 Jul 2010 05:01 Hi, I'm using kill -9 <PID> to end a process. The command is accepted (or so it seems), but when I ps again, the process is back, but with a new number. I assume the process I'm trying to kill is the child of a parent process, and that the parent process is re-starting it. Problem is, ps -l doesn't seem to work on this version (it's an embedded busybox version). Any ideas? Cheers.

It might be being respawned by init..check the inittab.

Curious - what's the process's name? -- The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledygook than the rest of the world put together. - Sir Peter Medawar <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>> |
