Imagine the following: Via service manager, I have installed three processes `portmap', `syslogd' and `inetd'. If I login now via simple console window, I can see the following process table: /home/admin[1]$ ps -ef UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND system 1003 1 -1 13:11:17 /usr/local/sbin/syslogd.exe system 1004 1 -1 13:11:18 /usr/local/sbin/portmap.exe system 1005 1 -1 13:11:18 /usr/local/sbin/inetd.exe administ 1006 1006 -1 13:11:26 /usr/bin/tcsh.exe administ 1009 1006 -1 13:11:29 /usr/bin/ps Now I call the KILL.EXE from NTReskit: /home/admin[2]$ KILL.EXE inetd process #286 [inetd.exe] killed /home/admin[3]$ KILL.EXE portmap process #148 [portmap.exe] killed /home/admin[4]$ KILL.EXE syslogd process #295 [syslogd.exe] killed And, at last, I take a look into the process table: /home/admin[5]$ ps -ef UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND system 1003 1 -1 13:11:17 /usr/local/sbin/syslogd.exe administ 1006 1006 -1 13:11:26 /usr/bin/tcsh.exe administ 1018 1006 -1 13:15:04 /usr/bin/ps ???The syslogd is still in the table??? Ok, next try: /home/admin[6]$ ps -ef UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND administ 1006 1006 -1 13:11:26 /usr/bin/tcsh.exe administ 1019 1006 -1 13:16:30 /usr/bin/ps Oh, on the second try, the already killed processes are erased from the table! This behaviour is 100% reproducable. Could somebody explain this behaviour? I would like to change it to the expected one, if it's possible. Regards, Corinna
