Java Processes on Linux Ignore kill

843811Apr 6 2005 — edited Apr 7 2005

I had posted earlier about javac locking the system in 1.5. I reverted to 1.4.2 and all was well until a few minutes ago.

I compiled and ran a test class, and it never terminated. I tried using the "kill" command and it ignored it. I tried "kill -9" and "kill -SIGKILL".

Now, I was under the impression that SIGKILL cannot be ignored, but now I have tried it with two java processes (java and javac), and both have managed to be unterminatable.

Anyone know how this can be?
