Howdy:

Running PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on RedHat Linux 7.2 kernel 2.4.7.

I have some processes that are just hanging around and I'm
trying to kill them. I know I'm not supposed to use
'kill -9 pid', but when I try to use 'kill -TERM pid'
nothing happens.

How can I safely and effectively kill a process that is
too stubborn to go away?
