- I had this problem a few days ago and there are two little programms at `
- `hobbes`, which solved the problem:
-
- procsxx.zoo
- killem21.zoo
-
- The first one shows the current processes, the second kill the processes,
- you want to.
-
- Procs showed me that the were three PMSHELLS running. I killed them and
- got a system crash. After rebooting there were only two PMSHELLS present
- and a system shutdown was possible.
-
- It seems to be not the finest manner, but for me it works !!
