I have about 400 defunct processes running on one of my boxes...Sun OS
4.1.3_U1. I tried logging in as root and manually 'kill -9' them, in
vain...Is there any way to delete these processes. I keep getting "proc
table full" and "Vforkk failed" every time I try to do something...Is there
something specific I need to look for to kill and clean my proc table...
Thanks,
Arun

If if they are under a single non root user, do a kill -9 -1 .

1. >>>Sun O.S. 4.1.3 U1 Questions<<<
I recently acquired a SparcStation 20 loaded with
Solaris 1.1.1 Ver B (SunOS 4.1.3) and am having
great difficulty getting some of the commands to work.
I have root privileges but am still unable to execute some
of the basic programs like 'openwindows'.
SunView works fine and brings up a very basic window with
a clock, test editor and mail box, but when I try to use the
openwin command I am told I "permission denied" even though
I am root. Is Sunview actually openwin? It sure doesn't have some of
the features I see described in various manuals but it opens as expected.
Is there some simple command I can use to chmod or chown all
of the files on the system so they are executable by root? This
box was formerly on a network so I suspect that there may have
been some SUID or SUIG conflict. Root is shown as the owner when
I do a ls -l on the usr files but in that particular directory (eg. /usr )
almost
all of the files deny me permission.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Cordially,
Gil Groehn
