Processes

1) I bought the book.

2) I was told that "vxfsd" is the program/process that suppose to clean automatically old processes in HP-Unix. Is this true?
The reason I'm asking is because after I reboot the server I can see my processes being cleaned/killed; however, after a day or so this "cleaning" doesn't work anymore. Any ideas?

Thank you.

2)
vxfsd cleans vxfs inodes cache...
You could:
Code:
# kctune vxfs_ifree_timelag=-1

Here is where I get my knowledge from:
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-0732/5992-0732.pdf
