Recently however I see an additional user showing up. One of them is strangely "me" but idle for 123d. This is odd since my system has been running only for ten days. Here is some related output:
[charshaw@mufasa charshaw]$ finger
Login Name Tty Idle Login Time Office Office Phone
charshaw Clint Harshaw *:0 May 3 09:44
charshaw Clint Harshaw pts/1 May 3 11:18 (:0.0)
charshaw Clint Harshaw pts/5 123d Apr 28 08:22 (:0.0)
[charshaw@mufasa charshaw]$ who -u
charshaw :0 May 3 09:44 ? 13153
charshaw pts/1 May 3 11:18 . 15142 (:0.0)
charshaw pts/5 Apr 28 08:22 ? 18655 (:0.0)
Now when I try to kill the process associated with the April 28 date, I get the following:
[charshaw@mufasa charshaw]$ kill 18655 bash: kill: (18655) - No such process [charshaw@mufasa charshaw]$ kill -9 18655 bash: kill: (18655) - No such process
What's going on here? I've google'd for a solution, and learned to try the things outlined above, but that doesn't seem to be the fix.
Is there a way to remedy this without a reboot? I asked on #fedora, and the general response was this was nothing to worry about, but I can't help but want to know what I can do, as well as what the cause is.
Thanks very much, Clint
