How to kill a process which refuses to be killed
I am typing this message after I received the message that shutdown is
running for a reboot now.
I started shutdown after lynx just freezed and I could do nothing. I
tried to kill lynx and although after that that there is no lynx running
anymore, the tty-screen stilled stayd the same. I then tried to kill bash
in that tty, but without any success.
Now, with shutdown running, nothing is happening. I cannot kill shutdown
- even as root. I have tried killall, top and kill and have tried kill
-1, -2, -6, -9 and -15 without success.
I am using the 2.0.30 kernel.
I thought this situation should not be possible in Linux.
How can I find out what is wrong? I would probably push the reset button
now, but in the future, what should I do?
I must mention that when I started up lynx I got the followin kernel
message:
