Specifically I've been messing about with tftpd, which sets itself up as user 'none' - if I want to stop the tftp server, how do I do that?

I thought that ought to work, however 'kill tftpd' doesn't give any output. (I can kill other processes) I think maybe I have misunderstood the host owner part. If I do a plain install (of 9front, actually) from the CD and log in as glenda, am I not the host owner?

Apologies both - didn't read Skip's answer properly. I saw kill where I should have seen Kill. > for lower case kill, you can @{rfork n; echo -n none >/tmp/none && bind /tmp/none /dev/user && kill tftpd} > you wouldn't normally of course but aspects of that command might be instructive Definitely. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
