stuck monitors

keith@piked2.agn.uiuc.edu asked:

Hi!,

Our sparc IPX went down in the middle of a session
and now we can't get use the monitors that are
"running" (x0 and x3). We can't shut them down,
unselect them or start them. The program thinks
someone is running them (me!)

What do we do?

Try rm-ing the lock files in dir

~grass/sun4/locks/<machine name>/:0.0

What also will work is:

carbon{atverm}51: ps -aux | grep x0
atverm 1677 0.0 2.0 48 296 ? S 09:28 0:00 x0
atverm 1686 0.0 1.3 32 196 p2 S 09:29 0:00 grep x0
carbon{atverm}52: kill 1677
