Thanks Christopher,

In fact that's how I'm stopping the replication (I'm not using the -9 or
-2 options), but sometimes it won't die...

Regards    

Andre

Simple answer:  Go ahead, kill the slon process.

That is how to get replication to stop.

When we want to shut replication down, the script usually does something
like the following:

kill -2 $PID
sleep 10
kill -9 $PID

e.g. - if the slon refuses to die, it puts it down hard...
