Re: TUX processes WON"T DIE! : Are we running windows Danny?

You are messing with kernel processes - it's like trying to kill the ext3
journal processes. I also cannot kill tux worker threads on my machine,
although this is the first time i wanted to do that - just to check . Please
use /etc/init.d/tux start/stop - this is the only way to control tux, as far
as i know.

( my standard development cycle ) I try to restart or kill TUX, and it WON'T
DIE, won't HUP, will not GO AWAY unless I restart the machine.  If I wanted
this kind of instability I'd run Windows.  These processes are not zombies
( according to ps ) but kill -anything has NO effect on them.
