I am newbie, but I know diff in kill and kill -9.
Heres my o/p: [root@localhost ~]# ps ax | grep yum 16794 ? S 0:05 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install lsof 17097 pts/1 S+ 0:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install lsof 18082 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep yum [root@localhost ~]# kill -9 16794 17097 [root@localhost ~]# ps ax | grep yum 16794 ? S 0:05 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install lsof 17097 pts/1 S+ 0:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install lsof 18084 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep yum [root@localhost ~]# killall -9 yum [root@localhost ~]# ps ax | grep yum 16794 ? S 0:05 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install lsof 17097 pts/1 S+ 0:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install lsof 18087 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep yum
The /var/run/yum.pid does not exist (removed when I followed steps in my 2'nd msg).

You've specifically tried kill -9 ? That just doesn't make sense, I have never seen a process in a "S" state that did not die as a result of a kill -9. "D" state yes, "Z" state yes, "T" state maybe, but never ever "S" (or any variant of S).
kill and kill -9 are not the same thing(sorry if it's obvious I don't know your level of expertise).
