Hanging process cannot be killed except from "kill -9"

[Radtanapan Janjanejob]

Gavin,
 
Here are more info. about my questions.
 
What about sending the hung process a different signal, 
like SIGHUP or SIGTERM to get it to clean up properly...?
>> I tried them already but they didn't work.
 
I cant answer your first question, since you would have
to specify _WHAT_PROCESS_ is hanging.
>> It's an application process which is developed from C/C++.

For your second question, Yes there is a work around; Don't
write code that hangs.. ;)
