Levente,

Just FYI, for reasons that I cannot explain we seem to have two squeaksource
images running:

ssdotcom  5940  5939  9 Jun30 ?        01:55:09 /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.15.3-3634/squeakvm -vm-display-null /home/ssdotcom/SqueakSource/squeaksource.4.image
ssdotcom 15483     1 10 Jun14 ?        1-19:56:10 /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.15.3-3634/squeakvm -vm-display-null /home/ssdotcom/SqueakSource/squeaksource.4.image


Process 5940 is the one that I can connect to with VNC, and that is running
under the control of supervise. Process 15483 is reparented to root.

I will kill 15483. This note is just to let you know what I am doing in case
I break something.

Dave
