locally. It basically ignores all processes in a "D" or "Z" state (or<br>
states where D or Z appear in the string). This is of course not<br>
ideal, but it works for me. I found that not all machines where I had<br>
stuck processes, would cause problems for start-stop-daemon-- this<br>
patch is only for "pidof". I may later replicate the problem with<br>
start-stop-daemon and figure out a fix.<br>
