There is probably some process still running, maybe hung up. The ps command will find it, but I'm not sure how to use it. The MAN page is very confusing. Someone here told me how to find a hung-up Word Perfect process, and the command was: ps aux | grep wp - Maybe if you put a * where I have wp it may work, I don't know. Somebody else will probably come on and tell you how to do it better. Good luck. --doug On Thursday 12 August 2004 19:39, Gil Weber wrote:
Hi, everyone.
If this has been discussed before, my apologies. I did not see it in the archives, but then I might have been using a poorly chosen search term. If there is an archive discussion and you can point me to it, that would be great. Otherwise...
About half the time when I try to end a session the computer doesn't initiate the end session activities.
I right click the desktop and select "log out," then I select either "end session only" or "restart computer." The pooter plays a sound I have enabled for the commands, but then nothing else happens. It never actually gets into the "end session" or "restart" sequence.
I end up having to power-down the computer with the power switch on the box.
I can also get the computer to reset with control/alt/backspace, but I think that's probably not an ideal solution -- agreed?
Any ideas on how I can trouble-shoot this situation where the computer simply won't reset?
Thanks! Gil
