Greetings Managers,
        Sorry, for the belated summary. My original question was is
        there a way to kill processes that get adopted by init when
        one uses "kill -9" originally to kill the process.

        I got 2 replies, and was too late since the process table got
        full and I had to reboot the machine :(.

        Thanks for the replies again
        cheers
        Mohan

when you kill it do you use kill -15 pid
? sometimes -9 isn't high enough,...I've found "phantoms" out there
myself and had to kill it with something a bit more drastic.
read man page to verify what I say about -15 ..I might
be misinterpreting it.

Hi,

Have you tried kill -CHLD 1? It usually kills these proccesses..
