Hi everybody, I've got a real and weird problem, which seems to come from the kernel, and hence I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere else, i'm asking it here: How can anyone explain this:
[2:10:22pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> kill -9 1026
[2:21:32pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> kill -9 1026
[2:21:33pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> kill -9 1026
[2:21:33pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> kill -9 1026
[2:21:34pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> sudo kill -9 1026
Password:
[2:21:42pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> sudo kill -9 1026
[2:21:44pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> sudo kill -9 1026
[2:21:45pm] _pejvan_ ~ >> ps -U pejvan | grep 1026
1026 ?? Us 0:00.02 /Users/pejvan/devel/[...]
I really need to be able to kill this process, since it totally blocks the launching of any graphical app when it crashes, and there's no way for me to restart the computer in clean way: $ sudo shutdown now will fail and after two or three minutes, I get in the text mode output, with a message telling me that there have been some IPC failure, which leads me to the question: does the process crash and blocks some stuff? (which is totally wrong on a preemptive OS) does the IPC mechanism fail somewhere and make this process crash? (which is weirder) Anyway, since the kernel isn't able to kill it, it seems that this is some kind of bug in the OS. Am I wrong? any suggestions suggestion about killing this process? is there any related bug reported about this? Thanks for your help, Pejvan PS: this process is launched by a normal user, and hence run in user land. _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
