Besides, I guess that tbmode -z <pid> does the same, i.e. causing sqlturbo to clean up and exit. A user process may "hang" in a critical code section, where it cannot be killed with one of these methods. Then, indeed, taking tha data base off line may be the one and only way to kill a user process. H. (invisible sig)
