Does anyone if the is a tool or an undocumented commmand under HPUX 11.0, to delete a runaway process with having to reboot?
Also, does anyone know where there is a script to do this. Your will be appreciated greatly.

Typically, you find out the PID or process id number for the offending process by using the 'ps -ef' command.
Then, knowing the process number, you can simply use 'kill ' command.
Simply do 'man ps' and 'man kill' on your HPUX system to find out more.
Good luck, if you need to e-mail me, prefix the domain name in my e-mail address above with 'af'.

I know how to delete a process, but if the process has no owner you can not delete it. The only wat`y to get rid of it is to reboot. I'am looking for a way to remove the process without rebooting. These processes are defunct and zombie processes.
