thanks very much. But I've a question. Is it possible change the D
state in other state that it is possible to kill the process?
thanks again

The kernel trumps any user process, including root, so no - if
the kernel code doesn't want to exit, you can't force it (except
of course by shutting down - because then it doesn't matter if
the termination damages the system).
The 'D' state is just a an indicator telling you that the process is
suspended at some point in the kernel code where the author has
decided it would not be safe to return prematurely. It is not
the 'D' state that is stopping you from killing it - it just tells
you that the kernel won't let you..
In general the 'D' state tells you that the process is suspended
waiting on some I/O operation to complete, and the code doesn't
allow for any way to exit earlier.
As an example, if you issue a write request to a serial port when
XOFF has been asserted, the system won't let the task exit
until the write is finished. If this is just normal flow control,
that won't take too long, but if it is being used as a screen pause
by someone who has gone home, it could imply an arbitrarily long
delay...
Think of the 'D' state as saying "The operating system will be damaged
if the process is allowed to exit now".

It runs without any error, but the processes are stillthere.
will ask the process to exit. kill -9 <pid> will tell it to quit, now.

other way to kill the process...
_exit number of pid
_Exit number of pid
exit number of pid
these the easier commands, other are:
wait
wait2
wait4
waitpid
read the man and good luck.

What do you mean? You are not the owner of the process? In that case you
will not be able to kill it in the first place.

I'm root. I know rebooting the box sorts it out, but I cannot do that
right now - people are using it...
Thanks

Hi, |
u can use: kill -9 process_number
or do /etc/init.d/proftpd stop(or restart)
or use tcpkill utility :-)

Can you 'invoke-rc.d proftpd stop'?
If that doesn't work, read the man page for kill(1). kill <process id>
will ask the process to exit. kill -9 <pid> will tell it to quit, now.
kill works outside Debian's mechanisms for starting and stopping
services, though. |
