Dead jobs

Hello

I tried to post this on Friday but for some reason it didn't go
through. At least I didn't get the original message nor replys to it
in my mail box. However if this is repeat then I appologize to
everyone.

Anyway I have a quick question. For some reason I can't allways kill
jobs. Especially if they are running in Xwindows. For instance when
my Netscape hangs I can't kill it. I go to a shell and type ps. Then
I issue command kill pid. However that doesn't kill it. When I do ps
again.... the netscape is still there. Next to the process I see D
which I assume stands for dead. But when I go back to Xwindows there
it is Netscape all hanged and filling up my screen. The only way I am
able to get rid of this problem is by rebooting the system. However
this is Linux there has to be better way to handle that!

Thanks
Jacek Perry
