[ltp] Immortal process that does not let the computer to sleep.

[Ignacio Fernández Galván]

Hi,

Some days ago I tried to 'cat' a file in the /proc system, but it didn't
work, the process hung and would not respond to a "kill -9". I tried
closing the terminal (it was inside Konsole) and restarting the X server,
but the process was still there. The real problem is I could not suspend
the computer, because of this process, it said something like: "Strange,
bash doesn't want to stop" (of course, the culprit was the 'cat' under
'bash'). So, at the end I had to reboot the computer to get rid of this
process.

Is there any other thing I could try in case this happens again?

Thanks
