Re: tramp: how kill process

[Paul <mafeuser@gmail.com>]

based on `delete-process` source code, it first tires to kill the 
process, then delete entry from *Process List*.

The second step is done without checking the result of first step.
Probably this is the reason of behaviour in my emacs.

either of the following commands return -1, and do NOT kill the process:
(signal-process "my-process-name" 'SIGKILL)
(signal-process "my-process-name" 'SIGINT)

I'm running these commands from /sudo::/root

Some inconsistency arises: on one hand emacs can create process with 
other user id, and on the other hand does not allow to kill it.

Is it a bug?

Paul
