Title: "kill" doesn't work (?)
Post by: ergozd on March 14, 2005, 08:29:53 PM

Hi!

Running top gives

Code: [Select]

 8:24pm  up 35 days, 22:43,  1 user,  load average: 3.04, 3.08, 3.08

I then try to kill 8509 and 23034 BUT they still are active...

Code: [Select]

[root@XXXX]# kill 8509
[root@XXXX# kill 23034
[root@XXXX]# ps -efa|grep vim
root      8509     1 98 Feb21 ?        20-19:06:30 vim lfck.conf
root     23034     1 89 Mar12 ?        1-19:40:46 vim services
root     18020 16895  0 20:25 pts/5    00:00:00 grep vim

So what do I do to kill these running processes?

use an extra parameter with the kill command:

kill -9 <process-id>

That should do it

Curly has the right solution. But you also want to avoid those runaway processes. Either make sure you log out of vim before disconnecting your remote session, or update all the vim packages - you've hit a bug in vim.

Thank you both for your help.

Curly, thanx for the extra flag. Checked in man pages, must have missed it. :-(

Charlie, I have "latest-updates" for rh73 of vim, probably will look around to find newer version.
