Hello everybody:

Sometimes I can't kill frozen apps with using kill command. Last time amule freezed. What I get after kill:

@linux:~> ps -e |grep amule 15600 pts/2 00:00:51 amule @linux:~> kill 15600 @linux:~> kill 15600 @linux:~> ps -e |grep amule 15600 pts/2 00:00:51 amule @linux:~> kill -9 15600 @linux:~> kill -9 15600 @linux:~> ps -e |grep amule 15600 pts/2 00:00:51 amule @linux:~>

Why is this and how can I stop it w/o rebooting? Thanks,

Try using the killall command, to see if it makes a difference. If using KDE, press <CTK><ALT>esc and click on the window. If all else fails, press <CTK><ALT>Backspace to restart the desktop.
