Re: Killing a process that doesn't exist!?



Hi,

It's a shell script.  Even though the log file says the script is running with a particular pid, that pid doesn't exist in the process table.


Cheers,

  It has a process ID, is that process ID running?  Is it the script?

  If not you'll need to post a short *extract* of the script and maybe
somebody will point out the bug in it.
