I am as of this morning seeing lots of defunct ksh shells in my ps list. Plus, when I shutdown, I was getting a single acpi attach message, but now I am getting two such messages. Is this happening because of a yum upgrade? Thanks. Process list PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? Ss 0:01 /sbin/init 2 ? S< 0:00 [kthreadd] 3 ? S< 0:00 [migration/0] 4 ? S< 0:00 [ksoftirqd/0] 5 ?
