It might, in the case where there's a lot of files pending in $LSVROOT/spool. Remember that 'lcmd' just drops a file into the queue. A signal (as generated by kill()) gets delivered essentially immediately (and presumably, the lsv process has a signal handler that catches TERM and sets a close-up-shop flag for after the current activity). -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
