Thanks to everybody who provided an answer. It turns out that I was missing
the
back slash before the semi-colon at the end. It hung because it was waiting
for
the stupid human to provide input. Thanks again to everybody.

Subject: runaway process
I started the following command from my backup script.
"find / -name core -exec rm {} ;"
It is running for way longer than it should. I tried to kill it, but it
won't die.
kill -9 doesn't do it. It's an E450 running 2.51. Please help.
