Hi,
I have an AIX server which has a number of root owned semaphores. Is there a way of identifying which processes/threads own these processes so that they can be removed.
I there also a way to remove shared memory segments in a similar way
Thanks.

hi

I tried to do this by getting the ascii value (4155)of it . it was fine. but it is clashing with F12, whose ascii is 4155 in normal keyboards. Due to this either one of... (0 Replies)
HP-UX
All,
I work in a manufacturing environment where some users connect to our Progress-based system with wireless RF units (Bar-code). Sometimes they go out of range and get disconnected but their session remains alive (ghost sessions). This sometimes causes record lock problems and is a pain.... (6 Replies)
Hey,
I'm in the process of working on a script to identify IO usage on a high IO server I have setup (Debian Etch). My question is how can identify specific processes that are using much of these resources, I can identify the processes using IOTOP, but doing it remotely via script can be a pain... (1 Reply)
I have an HP-UX server that runs a script each night. The script connects to an SFTP server and downloads all xml files (if any are present) from a certain folder, and then deletes the files from the SFTP server. So sometimes it will download a new file, sometimes it will download 2 or 3 new... (4 Replies)

so for the purposes of this thread, interactive scripts are shell scripts that prompts for a response from a user and then waits for the user to enter a response before proceeding.
now, from my understanding of this, the one common string i can expect to find in all interactive scripts is some... (1 Reply)
Sometimes it is necessary to run a job in the foreground that would normally be run as an overnight cron job.
When the job is run in the foreground, slightly different code may be required. Rather than having two scripts, I thought of following:

kill
KILL(1) Linux Programmer's Manual KILL(1)NAME
kill - terminate a process
SYNOPSIS
kill [ -s signal | -p ] [ -a ] [ -- ] pid ...
kill -l [ signal ]
DESCRIPTION
The command kill sends the specified signal to the specified process or process group. If no signal is specified, the TERM signal is sent.
The TERM signal will kill processes which do not catch this signal. For other processes, it may be necessary to use the KILL (9) signal,
since this signal cannot be caught.
Most modern shells have a builtin kill function, with a usage rather similar to that of the command described here. The `-a' and `-p'
options, and the possibility to specify pids by command name is a local extension.
OPTIONS
pid... Specify the list of processes that kill should signal. Each pid can be one of five things:
n where n is larger than 0. The process with pid n will be signaled.
0 All processes in the current process group are signaled.
-1 All processes with pid larger than 1 will be signaled.
-n where n is larger than 1. All processes in process group n are signaled. When an argument of the form `-n' is given, and it
is meant to denote a process group, either the signal must be specified first, or the argument must be preceded by a `--'
option, otherwise it will be taken as the signal to send.
commandname
All processes invoked using that name will be signaled.
-s signal
Specify the signal to send. The signal may be given as a signal name or number.
-l Print a list of signal names. These are found in /usr/include/linux/signal.h
-a Do not restrict the commandname-to-pid conversion to processes with the same uid as the present process.
-p Specify that kill should only print the process id (pid) of the named processes, and not send any signals.

Taken from BSD 4.4. The ability to translate process names to process ids was added by Salvatore Valente <svalente@mit.edu>.
