Hi Cero,
Thank you very much; I did not know those commands.
a.out is actually a fastcgi program and I need to kill every running processes of that program. Would
fuser -k /a/a.out
do the trick?
I am a bit confused because the man page of fuser reads:
-k Kill processes accessing the file. Unless changed with -signal, SIGKILL is sent. An fuser process never kills itself, but may kill other fuser processes. The effective user ID of the process executing fuser is set to its real user ID before attempting to kill.
