RE: {bb} Permission denied killing bb processes

[Philip Clark <bblist@cannae.uklinux.net>]

The runbb.sh script should be doing essentially the same job
as pkill, but in a less platform dependent manner. The required
PID(s) are identified using ps and grep each time it's run,
rather than being saved on start-up. It shouldn't be too
difficult to do a re-write which uses pkill instead, if that's
going to be more reliable.

My guess would be that the runbb.sh method is identifying the
wrong PID somehow. It should be fairly simple to test it manually
by following the same sequence that the script uses. Of course,
with 1000 machines to look after, there's always going to be
something more important to do :)

Cheers, Phil
