Hi, There are two jobs which is suppose to be running everyday during the workdays. but this two jobs are getting killed at approximately the same time around everyday at abt say 1:30 MDT time . i could see them being killed at the same time in the log files"/tmp". But the fact is that these killing jobs are not schedule to run in crontab either.is there anyway that i could find whereabouts and how is this two processes killed everyday. Thanks for your help. Regards, Dev

Might be the case that some process is trying to intentionally kill other jobs . This process may be identifying the process by searching some word in the jobname, and by chance yor process matches with its serach . Hence, unintentionally it may be getting killed. Jai Vrat Singh

I have looked into the job(scripts) that were schedule to run but could't find anything that might probably killed these servers,intentionally. When you say unintentionally -what exactly do you mean?..say I have two jobs schedule to run in crontab but in scanning the codes, I could't see anywhere where this could have been probably being targeted to kill. But what wonders me most is that everyday at around the same time , I can see the log file for the kill jobs.. say suppose, if I find the log file as kill -9 13526 kill -9 5327 ....From this job pid ,is there anyway that I could start looking into the issue.Is there anyway that which is the real script that is getting kill this by the (pid).If so please tell me. Thanks a lot again.. Regards, Dev
