At least I can imagine that you don't need an additional heater in august ;) > Is there a preference or option I can set, in either Scid or Rybka, to > instruct Scid to kill ALL Rybka threads and not just the first one? I do not know such an option in Scid. However, I wonder if it's a bug in Rybka as Scid sends a proper quit signal to the engine once it is closed. On the other hand I confirm that I also get a <defunc> Shredder or Fruit process if I close the analysis window. These processes get removed once I either close Scid or restart the analysis engine. E.g. Analysis Engine 1: DeepShredder [close] leaves DeepShredder <defunc> Analysis Engine 1: Fruit DeepShredder is gone fruit is running [close] fruit <defunc> and so on. Note that I can do this with whatever engine I tried (crafty, glaurung, fruit, DeepShredder 11, Shredder 9, all native Linux and I've only one CPU). Pascal: could it be that there's some pipe closed improperly keeping the processes hanging around? > (I > know I could set Rybka to use only 1 CPU, but I'd rather be able to run > it at full capacity.) Does this really remove the zombi process you get once you close the analysis window? -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery. Alexander Wagner | Ignorance is Strength. | | Theory : G.
