NAME

       fixproc - Fixes a process by performing the specified action.

SYNOPSIS

       fixproc [-min n] [-max n] [-check | -kill | -restart | -exist | -fix] proc ...

DESCRIPTION

       Fixes  a  process  named "proc" by performing the specified action.  The actions can be check, kill, restart, exist, or fix.  The action is
       specified on the command line or is read from a default database, which describes the default action to take for each process.	The  data-
       base format and the meaning of each action are described below.

OPTIONS

       -min n minimum number of processes that should be running, defaults to 1

       -max n maximum number of processes that should be running, defaults to 1

       -check check process against database /local/etc/fixproc.conf.

       -kill  kill process, wait 5 seconds, kill -9 if still exist

       -restart
	      kill process, wait 5 seconds, kill -9 if still exist, then start again

       -exist checks if proc exists in ps && (min <= num. of processes <= max)

       -fix   check process against database /local/etc/fixproc.conf. Perform defined action, if check fails.

Name
       kill - send a signal to a process

Syntax
       kill [-sig] processid...
       kill -l

Description
       The command sends the TERM (terminate, 15) signal to the specified processes.  If a signal name or number preceded by `-' is given as first
       argument, that signal is sent instead of terminate.  For further information, see

       The terminate signal kills processes that do not catch the signal; `kill -9 ...' is a sure kill, as the KILL (9) signal cannot  be  caught.
       By convention, if process number 0 is specified, all members in the process group (that is, processes resulting from the current login) are
       signaled.  This works only if you use and not if you use To kill a process it must either belong to you or you must be superuser.

       The process number of an asynchronous process started with `&' is reported by the shell.  Process numbers can also be  found  by  using	It
       allows job specifiers ``%...''  so process ID's are not as often used as arguments.  See for details.

Options
       -l   Lists  signal  names.  The signal names are listed by `kill -l', and are as given in /usr/include/signal.h, stripped of the common SIG
	    prefix.
