We have a AIX5.1.5 machine. Root logged on through CDE. I saw a lot of error messages saying that it failed when the system tried to start the screen locking program. So there are a lot of zombie processes on the system and we can not do anything, even existing the CDE or rebooting the system. Does anybody know what might cause the problem? Is there a way to gracefully reboot the machine. Thanks. Jie
