  Hallo,
   I have 2 user process which I cannot kill in anyway. I tried with 'kill
-9 pid' without success.
   These process are created with the following tar comand:
  
    tar cf - .|(cd /home;tar xf -)
  
    The processes are:

    jkeller 93906 0.0 0.0 2.89M 520K pts/23 U 13:48:01 15:36.90
tar xf -
    jkeller 92869 0.0 0.0 2.89M 520K pts/23 U 12:26:36 15:36.12
tar xf -

    Is it possible to kill this process without rebooting the system?

    Thanks in advance,
     Kumar
