Well, didn't know that, "/bin/kill -9 wdfs_PID" works, great

Thanks a lot, after your advice I read an article about csh built-in
commands, never heard of it from any fbsd handbook...

I am completely baffled why this worked. Why would /bin/kill -9 work when
the built in csh kill -9 wouldn't?

According to the manual page for the built-in kill command, it
recognizes 'kill -s 9', but not 'kill -9'.

Is it too late to remove csh from the base system? :D
