process wont die
 

anyway to kill a process that wont die? tried kill <pid>, and killall <name> and they simply wont die. It's xine and it took my cdrom with it....won't let me eject till it's not in use...argh

try:

killall -9 xine

i just tried that and now there are 11 instances of xine that wont die =/

very strange :(. Sorry I could not help ya :(

I think typing killall -9 xine again would successfully kill the processes.

thanks...after waiting an hour i was able to kill them using kill <pid> ...dunno what happened there. thanks :)
