Unable to kill processes on HPUX
HPUX version B.11.23 as reported by uname -a
Start with default signal I believe is -15
#kill PID
Process still present.
#kill -9 PID
Process still present, even after repeated attempt and waiting.
PPID becomes 1 which is the init process
started at boot time.
So far only way to stop has been to reboot host.
Any suggestions, HP support has been unhelpful.
