[Gllug] Killing processes on Solaris [OTish]

[Rev Simon Rumble]

On Fri 22 Mar, Ian Scott bloviated thus:

> I had a perl process running on a Solaris box which refuses to die
> (kill -9 as root doesn't moan, but the process lives on).

Don't know about your problem but you shouldn't use numeric signals
for portability.  kill -KILL == kill -9.  See man kill(1).
