I have been experimenting with mldonkey. After exiting the program, I noticed my system was slow, with unusual disk activity and a lot of processor usage. Ksysguard shows a persistent mldonkey process that consumes 22 % of system resources. I can't seem to kill it,. I've tried killall mldonkey, kill 1505, kill -9 1505, as user and as root, but the process is still there. Any suggestions, apart from rebooting?

I don't know about mldonkey, but I have and idea: when you kill it with signal 9, does it remains alive with the same PID, or changed? If it changes, there is some other process that restarts it fast. Do a "ps afx|less" and search for mldonkey, checking whether it has child processes that have to be killed first. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

You can try pkill mldonkey. See if you have those tools installed. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."

As my question indicated, and unfortunately for me, it does not change at all, but just stays there , 1505 forever ... except I lost patience and rebooted :-) Thanks anyway, FX -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux http://www.nibz.org
