It's been awhile since a lingering or hung up program needed to be killed on
my A1000, but last night "archa" got hungup unzoo'ing a bad file and wa
eating up cpu time pretty good. "Xoper" to the rescue. I cancel'd the offend'g the offending
ing
process number "6 Background CLI" (case sensitive). The archa window dis-
appeared and the system sluggishness was gone. It's been running fine these
past 24hrs. (knock on wood   :->  ). The only "hard" part was figuring out
from xoper lists of processes which was the one that I wanted to cancel.
Luckily, archa was the next to last thing I started (xoper was the last), and
was a fairly easy guess as to what needed to be specified in the cancelance
command. Xoper seems to be able to kill at least some tasks.
