LKBEN11063: Posix error 3: No such process

Symptom

You get the error message: No such process

Cause

none

Solution

This message can come up in various situation under linux.

e.g.
SIOCADDRT: No such process
Failed to bring up eth0

This can be caused by mainboards who swap the eth0 and eth1 at boot time.

Most of the time it really says what it is.

e.g.
Start vim on a system
Now we search the process PID

ps aux|grep vim
lubby 6873 0.7 0.9 4996 2460 pts/0 S+ 09:42 0:00 vim

We demand it to be killed
kill 6873

The process is killed
Now we do it again
kill 6873 and will have the error: -bash: kill: (6873) - No such process
