Message-ID: <12571@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Thu, 16-Aug-84 22:22:00 EDT Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.12571 Posted: Thu Aug 16 22:22:00 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 20-Aug-84 01:21:25 EDT Lines: 21 From: Harry BarmanYou might need someone else to kill off your process if you do something like this in your main csh on 4.2bsd... % set wombat = `leave 2100` the cshell will jam up until the leave process goes away!, and there seems to be no way you can kill it from that terminal, you either have to go log in and kill it from another terminal, or get your friendly super-user person to do the evil deed. If anyone knows of a way around this hanging up problem I'd be glad to hear of it. Harry J. Barman University of Cambridge Computer Lab., Cambridge, UK. P.S. Is there still a line eater out there, or is it just another sewer dweller.
