i can restart named:

[root@server01 /]# service named stop
Stopping named:
[root@server01 /]# service named start
named: already running[root@server01 /]#


[root@server01 /]# /etc/init.d/named stop
Stopping named:
[root@server01 /]# /etc/init.d/named start
named: already running[root@server01 /]#

after a stop its stiull ruinning
[root@server01 /]# /etc/init.d/named stop
Stopping named:
[root@server01 /]# ps -ax | grep nam
3882 ? S 0:00 [named]
3973 pts/0 S 0:00 grep nam
[root@server01 /]#


i found some results on th eforum, but none that explained it very well
 
I've been running named for about ten years and have never seen the problem.

After stopping named:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named stop

Run:

ps waux | grep named

as in your example, then:

kill xxxx

where xxxx is the PID number returned by the ps waux command.

Then run the ps waux command again and see if it's still there.

BTW, there should hardly ever be a reason to stop named; named will reload it's configuration and zone files with:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named reload

or

service named reload
