RE: {bb} Permission denied killing bb processes

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

A clarification (AKA correction) is in order. I wasn't looking
carefully enough :(  The runbb.sh script will use the PID value
that is stored from a previous start (if available) and then
move on to try and kill any other BB processes. This part
specifically excludes the standard processes and looks as if
it's intended to kill off extension scripts. It was this part
that was causing the error in your original post.

If some of your clients are running extension scripts, maybe
they change UID. Otherwise, it looks like runbb.sh is
misidentifying another process as belonging to BB and trying
to kill it.

Anyway, excessive caffine intake is no longer cutting it. I'm
going to play with this some more tomorrow.

Cheers, Phil.
