Try: /etc/init.d/novell-zmd stop then wait for it to really (it might not, or might take some time).
This command takes quite some time, then gives back a "failed". ZMD ist still running forever on afterwards (with one or two child tasks "parse-metadata" and consuming a few percents of CPU usage). As the log shows, ZMD receives, but boldly ignores the "stop" command: 21 Oct 2006 13:37:55 INFO Daemon Received signal SIGTERM BTW, the log shows not the slightest other problem (besides not being able to contact NetworkManager - which is indeed not installes) Only a "killlall -9 zmd" kills the task for good.
Only afterwards start it again. A reboot might help too to get rid of a stuck zmd.exe :/
After several reboots, it's still the same :( ... Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
