[Zope] Can't stop Zope, machine hanging

[Ken Ara]

One and a half days later, I am again unable to stop,
restart or kill Zope. My ISP host is making changes on
their network and I believe the problem is with them.
I am in a FreeBSD jail, sharing the machine with a DNS
server. It's 3am over there, and I wish I could do
something while waiting for them to wake up. Then, we
need to find out what is causing this problem.

Andreas, I figured out that the netstat -p option
required a protocol argument. So, 'netstat -anp TCP'
gives me a very long list of IPs trying to connect. It
does not display the pid of the hanging process, maybe
some other option would do, but the problem seems to
be a python2.3 process stuck in STOP state. I can't
kill it, and I can't even restart the machine with the
shutdown command.

Is there no alternative to physically restarting this
machine? While we are stuck, is there anything I can
do to diagnose the problem?

Thanks,
Ken
