What is parallel?
Possibly GNU parallel?
No, it is parallel lp/printer port.
Anyway: 'ps -lfp 1603' or 'lsof -p 1603' is your friend for finding out more about that process. Or 'ltrace -p 1603' for library calls or 'strace -p 1603' for kernel calls.
ps -lfp helped. ps -lfp 1735 4 S lp 1735 805 2 80 0 - 10087 ? 14:18 ? 00:02:34 parallel:/dev/lp0 440 user http://bolthely.hu That is there is a hanging print command, since the printer is turned off. I checked the print manager before and I could not find pending jobs. This pending job belongs to another user, and it is not shown on the list of my print manager.
