once i was trying to fetch some file w/ -a option; after waiting for sometime (hours on a <33kbs connection) when i tried to # kill -9 <pid of fetch> old fetch process would die but will start a new one w/ new pid. even tried to use killall and to delete the file being downloaded w/ no success. i could kill the fetch process only after killing ppp completely not just sending -SIGINT to ppp. man page says fetch(1) will retry the transfer upon /soft failures/. fetch seemed to have very hard definition of soft. is there any way to kill "fetch -a blah" without killing ppp? - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
