Hi,

as an act of desperation I'm now trying to kill loads of perl-processes (all
spawned by Apache). As root I execute this command:
kill `ps -auwx | grep -i perl | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`

The result is a couple of errors, complaining about non-existant PID's, but
still loads of perl-processes continue running (and consume memory).
Am I missing something here or has this system become so unstable as there's
nothing else to do but trash it????

Arjan
