Hi,
I'm trying to delete a sleeping process (parent ID is not 1) with "kill -9" command by the owner of the process (infodba) but it doesn't get killed. Is there any way of killing this process without killing the parent process or rebooting? (I'm using HP Unix B.11.11)

Is there a way to monitor certain processes and if they hang too long to kill them, but certain scripts which are expected to take a long time to let them go?
Thank you

Hi
Is there an easy way to identify and group currently running processes into OS processes and APP processes. Not all applications are installed as packages.
Any free tools or scripts to do this?
Many thanks. (2 Replies)
I had a script executing every hour to kill a process. I used loop rather than cron to execute it periodically.

ps
PS(1) General Commands Manual PS(1)NAME
ps - process status
SYNOPSIS
ps [-alxU] [kernel mm fs]
OPTIONS -a Print all processes with controlling terminals
-l Give long listing
-x Include processes without a terminal
EXAMPLES
ps -axl # Print all processes and tasks in long format
DESCRIPTION
Ps prints the status of active processes. Normally only the caller's own processes are listed in short format (the PID, TTY, TIME and CMD
fields as explained below). The long listing contains:
F Kernel flags: 001: free slot 002: no memory map 004: sending; 010: receiving 020:
inform on pending signals 040: pending signals 100: being traced.
S State: R: runnable W: waiting (on a message) S: sleeping (i.e.,suspended on MM or FS) Z:
zombie T: stopped
UID, PID, PPID, PGRP The user, process, parent process and process group ID's.
SZ Size of the process in kilobytes.
RECV Process/task on which a receiving process is waiting or sleeping.
TTY Controlling tty for the process.
TIME Process' cumulative (user + system) execution time.
CMD Command line arguments of the process.
The files /dev/{mem,kmem} are used to read the system tables and command line arguments from. Terminal names in /dev are used to generate
the mnemonic names in the TTY column, so ps is independent of terminal naming conventions.
