Inactive Session
Hi, I am new to forum, I am wondering anyone can help me ?
Is there a command to tell whether a particular process is already inactive, so I can issue a kill command to end it. I have been encountering scenerio whereby users always shutdown abnormally by closing the windows, and my application cannot end by itself. Therefore I will have to manually check and kill manually, otherwise my server uptime will go up very fast.
Appreciate if anyone can help on this. Many thanks in advance.
Best Rgds

kill(1) General Commands Manual kill(1)
Name
kill - send a signal to a process
Syntax
kill [-sig] processid...
kill -l
Description
The command sends the TERM (terminate, 15) signal to the specified processes. If a signal name or number preceded by `-' is given as first
argument, that signal is sent instead of terminate. For further information, see
The terminate signal kills processes that do not catch the signal; `kill -9 ...' is a sure kill, as the KILL (9) signal cannot be caught.
By convention, if process number 0 is specified, all members in the process group (that is, processes resulting from the current login) are
signaled. This works only if you use and not if you use To kill a process it must either belong to you or you must be superuser.
The process number of an asynchronous process started with `&' is reported by the shell. Process numbers can also be found by using It
allows job specifiers ``%...'' so process ID's are not as often used as arguments. See for details.
Options
-l Lists signal names. The signal names are listed by `kill -l', and are as given in /usr/include/signal.h, stripped of the common SIG
prefix.
