my post was:
Hi all,
i have 2 processes going that have a U under status. U means they are
"uninteruptable sleeping processes". well i want to interupt them all
right, in fact i want to kill them-but they won't die. kill -9 proc#
has no affect on these beasts. any suggestions? thanx!
 
 thanx to: bigreddog, brennan, jgmicon, alan, and rrens
 
suggestions were:
1. kill the parent processes (been there-done that before the post)
2. Wait until th U process wakes up and it will die naturally.
but the concensus was:
3. reboot

thanx all!
