[aclug-L] two minor questions

[Jesse Kaufman <kaufmjes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

any ideas why my computer hangs on shutting down the gpm stuff when i
reboot?  i've let it sit for a 1/2 an hour, and it never got through...

also, how do i completely kill a process... when i do a kill (via
windowmaker), it kills the vis, but when i do a ps, it still shows
netscape-communicator (for example), or soffice.bin (all too many times)
as running... sometimes it's not listed in ps, but when i run ps ax, it
shows up with a 'STAT' of S, and many times, lists the TTY as ?, but i
try typing kill <pid>, and every time, it's still there... is there some
sort of kill command that is even more explicite and definate than kill
<pid>?
