There were more jobs, and I killed them (not showing that, for brevity, but they were all jobs that I grepped out with `ps aux | grep blkls' just like below): [code] g5n ~ # kill 31041 31042 31045 31046 [/code] This one pair (or whatever to call it) remaining: [code] g5n ~ # ps aux | grep blkls root 4169 0.0 0.0 16800 472 pts/1 S May07 0:00 sh -c '/usr/bin/blkls' -e -f ext -o 0 -i raw '/Cmn/autopsy/g5nCmn/g5n/images/vgn-Cmn' | '/usr/bin/srch_strings' -a -t d | '/bin/grep' 'Z1_F0331_Zoom_Lovrić_Škaričić\.avi' root 4170 3.9 0.0 29908 680 pts/1 S May07 148:01 /usr/bin/blkls -e -f ext -o 0 -i raw /Cmn/autopsy/g5nCmn/g5n/images/vgn-Cmn root 31473 0.0 0.0 11588 2024 pts/9 S+ 21:01 0:00 grep --colour=auto blkls g5n ~ # [/code] An I decide to kill it: [code] g5n ~ # kill 4170 4169 g5n ~ # [/code] And I want to make sure it is now dead, but... ...But: [code] g5n ~ # ps aux | grep blkls root 31479 0.0 0.0 16800 2748 pts/1 S 21:05 0:00 sh -c '/usr/bin/blkls' -e -f ext -o 0 -i raw '/Cmn/autopsy/g5nCmn/g5n/images/vgn-Cmn' | '/usr/bin/srch_strings' -a -t d -e l | '/bin/grep' 'Z1_F0331_Zoom_Lovrić_Škaričić\.avi' root 31480 22.2 0.0 29908 3276 pts/1 S 21:05 0:02 /usr/bin/blkls -e -f ext -o 0 -i raw /Cmn/autopsy/g5nCmn/g5n/images/vgn-Cmn root 31484 0.0 0.0 11580 2020 pts/9 S+ 21:05 0:00 grep --colour=auto blkls g5n ~ # [/code] I couldn't believe, but look, repeating the same kill line as before shows it's not those processes! [code] g5n ~ # kill 4170 4169 bash: kill: (4170) - No such process bash: kill: (4169) - No such process g5n ~ # [/code] These really have just been spawned. I didn't run the date in the terminal, but the time, believe you me, was just the one that the ps piped to grep says these new processes have started, 9 pm of May 9th 2015. With incredulity, I looked it up again: [code] g5n ~ # ps aux | grep blkls root 31479 0.0 0.0 16800 2748 pts/1 S 21:05 0:00 sh -c '/usr/bin/blkls' -e -f ext -o 0 -i raw '/Cmn/autopsy/g5nCmn/g5n/images/vgn-Cmn' | '/usr/bin/srch_strings' -a -t d -e l | '/bin/grep' 'Z1_F0331_Zoom_Lovrić_Škaričić\.avi' root 31480 23.5 0.0 29908 3276 pts/1 S 21:05 0:06 /usr/bin/blkls -e -f ext -o 0 -i raw /Cmn/autopsy/g5nCmn/g5n/images/vgn-Cmn root 31487 0.0 0.0 11584 2008 pts/9 S+ 21:06 0:00 grep --colour=auto blkls g5n ~ # [/code] And, I can't prove it, but links -g wasn't running on the "http://g5n:9999/31564462051203138502/autopsy" that Autopsy gave me when I started it. So: [code] g5n ~ # kill 31479 31480 g5n ~ # g5n ~ # ps aux | grep blkls root 31489 0.0 0.0 11584 2012 pts/9 R+ 21:06 0:00 grep --colour=auto blkls g5n ~ # [/code] It is finally over. And since Autopsy wasn't running when that job was unnecessarily somehow spawned, I guess it may eventually not be down to Autopsy, but to some other reason.
