Re: unkillable find process



Further:

$ ps aux | egrep find
justa     8558  0.0  0.0   9080   836 pts/9    D+   11:20   0:00 find
. -maxdepth 4

That shows its STAT(E) as "D+", man ps:
D    uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)

Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-C just output the characters ^Z and ^C respectively,
to my screen session.

The first thing I tried to do to stop this process was Ctrl-C, and was
surprised it output ^C characters to the console rather than stop the
process.
