Hi All,

The script which is in question is used for deleting the files based on the timestamp which have been calculated using some logic.

The script is not calling any other script.

Now, please suggest:

1. Can I kill all the PIDs related to the script so that it can be started again succesfully. The script is already in the production environment, therefore can't make any other changes. Before moving it to the production, it has been tested successfully and worked in the production environment as well.

2. I see 4 PIDs in total for one scrip of which 2 shows running state and other 2 sleep state.

I need your inputs before Killing the PIDS.
