stunnel hanging/not responding to kill -9

[Simon Gray]

Hi Guys,

 

I've got a really odd one here, running stunnel 4.18 and after about a week
it just hangs.

 

>From top I get:

 

  PID USERNAME      PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU
COMMAND

  809 stunnel        96    0  4536K  1900K STOP   0   0:21  0.00%  0.00%
stunnel

 

# ps ax | grep stunnel

  809  ??  TLs    0:21.27 /usr/local/sbin/stunnel
/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf

 

# ./rc.d/stunnel.sh stop

Stopping stunnel.

It won't stop, I've tired kill -9 809 as well without any joy.

 

Only alternative is to restart the box but being a production box I'd rather
not.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Regards,
