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.

KILL(2) 							System Calls Manual							   KILL(2)

NAME

       kill  -	send signal to a process

SYNOPSIS

       kill(pid, sig);

DESCRIPTION

       Kill sends the signal sig to the process specified by the process number in r0.	See signal(2) for a list of signals.

       The sending and receiving processes must have the same effective user ID, otherwise this call is restricted to the super-user.

       If the process number is 0, the signal is sent to all other processes in the sender's process group; see tty(4).

       If the process number is -1, and the user is the super-user, the signal is broadcast universally except to processes 0 and 1, the scheduler
       and initialization processes, see init(8).

       Processes may send signals to themselves.

SEE ALSO

       signal(2), kill(1)

DIAGNOSTICS

       Zero is returned if the process is killed; -1 is returned if the process does not have the same effective user  ID  and	the  user  is  not
       super-user, or if the process does not exist.
