I remember using DOMAIN/OS computers at university in 1990, by then it had been acquired by HP. The biggest difference from Unix I first ran into was that you couldn't always kill processes with kill -9, sometimes you had to "Blast" the process if it was waiting / hung on a network lock.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoSeems similar to having zombies when doing that under Linux and the BSDs.
- tankenmate 6y agoA zombie process is a process that has exit()ed but hasn't been reaped (wait(), et al) by its parent yet; a different mechanic that has to do with keeping the child's exit status and process statistics due to wait() being asynchronous, not to do with network locks.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoFrom an endusers point of view(who couldn't care less about the internals), killdashnining anything which had open files over NFS resulted in Z in ps, pstree, top, htop etc. in my experience.
