In article <239 at phavl.UUCP> rob at phavl.UUCP (Robert Ransbottom) ends off with the epitaph: >kill( blair, SIGKILL) Come on--a *sure* kill? At least he could trap SIGTERM and cleanup after himself before departing... Then again, he might just SIG_IGN and we'd be no better off than before. :-) :-)
