I think a much better method would be to switch consoles. Then you can run "ps aux" and kill off the bash process that coresponds to the telnet session. If you wanted to kill the whole session, kill off the bash process that coresponds. If you guess wrong, you of course kill off another console. But all should regenterate nicely. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.
