I wanted a quick refresher on how to restart a script again. It has been a while since I had to putty. First, this past monday email stopped flowing, and now confd has used more processing time than all other processes combined. Considering the system has only been up for 33 hours, I find it odd that 10 of those where consumed by confd.plx. Also, as shown below, it is not in a zombie state, so yes, this is some sort of bug. Hopefully a quick reset will do it, but I am not interested in rebooting the entire box. Thanks for your help.
