Processes in the "E" state mean that they are "Exiting", which means the kernel is trying to free up the processes resources. To find out exactly what's holding things up, run "ps lp 27194", and take a look at the WCHAN column. Most of the time it'll be waiting on "ttywai", which means someone hit ^S on that vty, blocking output. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
