Leonard, if "kill pid" doesn't succeed in killing a process, then "kill -9 pid" should kill the process. In your case, the zombie processes may still be trying to either talk to a devide driver, such as "xw", "gf" or "ps", or waiting for a response from the message queue (the ipcs command will show message queues in use). I cannot tell you at what point you ran out of resources. If your script is unable to connect to a DISPLAY that it was using, then that would be a problem. Otherwise, the use of cntl-C is bad since it doesn't remove the message queues. After running "cleanup -c" if message queues still exist, and gplt and devices still exist, then a reboot is the simplest solution- but you still need to examine the running plot script to determine if the error condition still exists.
