You misquoted. The OP's original sentence was:
<blockquote>
The problem is that none kill -9, $cgi_pid or kill $cgi_pid, or kill...
whatever is able to kill the processes. But if I run as root user a
simple perl -e 'kill(-9,PID)' it is able to kill it.
</blockquote>
Now, pray tell me, is it or is it not able to kill whatever 'it' is.
Sherm has since explained how to interpret this to me but without that I
would forever not know the intended meaning.
The reasoning behind your post is, of course, correct. But the
unkindness in what you have written is breathtaking.
Let's not overdo it please.
The OP plainly has something other than English as his first language
and is doing his best.
I plainly have something other than English as my first language and I am
trying to do my best. Having learned a couple of other languages than my
own, let me tell you that fully forming sentences is not a hard task so
long as one sticks with simple structures. IMNSHO, choosing not to write
in not in fully formed sentences, dropping vowels, etc, are indicators of
lack of respect for the people one expects to receive help from.
Does your position as an English-speaking über-mensch living in the
land of the free give you the right to put him down like that?
So, you mean, I cannot be an über-mensch unless my native language is
English. I am very disappointed.
How hard would it have been to write
"This is not a Perl problem. Killing processes is done
by the operating system so you should ask in the newsgroup
for the operating system in which Apache is running"
Feel free to write that if that is how you would like to spend your time.
On the other hand, I do not remember the OP mentioning anything about
Apache.
Have a nice day.
Sinan.
