killing dead processes

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Greg. You could try re-starting init in runlevel 1. Just don't do init
0 or else you will get the affect of shutdown -h. I found that this is the
best thing that works without rebooting, and it kills all the processes
that won't kindly go away.

Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sick of Winblows!

Sometimes I find that over time, there are a number of ssh processes running under my username, and that they're not doing much of anything. I've tried stopping fetchmail and restarting it, doing "killall ssh" and "killall fetchmail" as root, but the processes are there just the same. I know that the ssh processes in question are being generated by fetchmail, because it is the only daemon that does something over ssh, and because I sanely close any ssh connections I start manually. My solution has been to simply reboot the box. However, I was wondering if there is a better way of killing them? Thanks in advance.
