Indestructible wine-pthreads

The wineserver I can terminate, but I am left with other running processes called "wine-pthread" which don't want to be killed.

 

Pthreads are POSIX-Threads:

If a process doesn't like to be terminated in a "civilized" manner, you can do a "kill -9 <process number>" as root. Very few processes can ignore this; for those I happened to encounter I could not find any other solution than terminating the process evoking them in the first place or rebooting.

Yeah... I did give that a go, but it wasn't working either. I found a post from a Ubuntu user who had the same issue, could only get them to terminate by rebooting.

 

Ah well, it was only a once off... so I'm not too worried about it.

 

Cheers though!
