Hi!
A process sits in memory, cannot kill:
anixx 16677 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 04:48 0:00 [firefox-bin]<defunct>
How should I terminate it without reboot?
It's a zombie. It's already exited and waiting for someone to notice. Did your UI crash or something? All of that processes, except for the bit trying to pass on SIGCHLD are already gone. It's mostly a nuisance in ps. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SuSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
