Hello,

Well, I believe I finally have tq running (at least the timerd portion of
it).  Now a question/suggestion

I am running Red Hat linux with an updated kernel 2.0.10.  I received skill
as part of Chebucto software, as well as the Red Hat distribution.  Well,
skill -t ttyp0 does not work on my system.  I always get 
skill: no matching processes when I try to kill somebody by there tty.  

First the question.  Anybody else using Linux tried this??  
Now the suggestion.  I assume I am not alone in this, and that skill has a 
        problem with linux.  This being the case, I suggest that for the next
        distribution you may want to change the tq stuff to use
        fuser -HUP -k /dev/ttyp0 for Linux.  This does work.  I have already
        modified the tq scripts on my box. 

David
