How to kill unkillable Python-processes running as root
- by Andrei
I am experiencing an annoying problem with sshuttle running it on 10.7.3, MBA with the latest firmware update -- after I stop it (ctrl+c twice), or loose connection, or close the lid, I cannot restore it until I restart the system. The restarting takes notably more time, than it would normally take. I have tried to flush ipfw rules - not helping.
Could you advice me how to restore sshuttle connection (without restarting os)?
The following processes remain running as root, which I do not know how to kill (tried sudo kill -9 <pid> with no luck):
root 14464 python ./main.py python -v -v --firewall 12296 12296
root 14396 python ./main.py python -v -v --firewall 12297 12297
root 14306 python ./main.py python -v -v --firewall 12298 12298
root 3678 python ./main.py python -v -v --firewall 12299 12299
root 2263 python ./main.py python -v -v --firewall 12300 12300
The command I use to run proxy:
./sshuttle --dns -r [email protected] 10.0.0.0/8 -vv
The last message I get trying to restore the connection:
...
firewall manager: starting transproxy.
