SaX2 invoked on text console doesn't terminate
Last modified: 2005-08-26 10:41:12 UTC
After a plain invocation of "sax2" on tty3 in runlevel 3, an ensuing properly generated X configuration and return back to tty3 text screen, SaX2 won't terminate but instead keeps displaying the spinning baton. Inspection shows a /usr/sbin/dots process still running on tty3. Killing it finally gives the shell prompt back. Verified on: Zert180.suse.de (DELL Precision WS340) running SUSE 10.0b3.
killproc doesn't work on your system, seems to be a known bug
yep, is known and fixed *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 113002 ***
Just for the record: installed the update ~werner/Export/sysvinit-2.85-49.i586.rpm mentioned in: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=113002#c3 and tested another SaX2 run --> SaX2 terminated properly, problem fixed.
