Assuming the problem is not a "defunct" process,.....
I have seen cases where kill'ing a process with a 9 didn't work.
All of the cases I've seen were a result of the process being "hung"
in the kernel waiting for an event.
We had problems in the past killing programs that were communicating
over a serial port, and it was hung trying to "CLOSE" the port ...
...as soon as we reconnected the serial device, the CLOSE succeeded
and the process exited.
In those days we used "crash" to perform a stack trace on the process
(after first determining its process table slot number). I understand
that "crash" has been replaced by "kdb" and its command set is different.
But, that may be a place for you to start.

Hi All,
I tried killing a bunch of scripts. They seem to have worked because
ps -ef | grep -i SCRIPT_NAME is not showing them but the logs are getting populated and jobs in the script are getting done.
How do I really kill them or atleast see the process running?
Thanks

genlib_def_phfig
GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG.3(October 1, 1997) GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG.3(October 1, 1997)
NAME
GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG - open a layout model as current figure
SYNOPSYS
#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG(cellname)
char *cellname;
ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
Paris, France.
Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr
PARAMETERS
cellname Name of the cell which all futher calls to genlib physical functions will work on
DESCRIPTION
DEF_PHFIG defines the current physical working figure by it's name, the cellname argument. It can be use anywhere in the genlib program,
but must appear at least once at the top of it, since it also initalize the user's preferences through environment variables.
If the figure called cellname doesn't exists in memory, it is created. If it already exists in memory, it makes it the current working
figure. DEF_PHFIG doesn't look on disk for the figure cellname, so be careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving later on.
EXAMPLE
#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
/* Create a figure to work on */
GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("mycell");
/* Place an instance */
GENLIB_PLACE("mymodel","firstinstance", NOSYM,0L,0L);
/* Save all that on disk */
GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
