Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Guys,

I am unable to kill the process . and same process is running so many times. If i am trying to kill once again it restarting/kicked off again.

and now i am unable to login . i am getting error message like "error -cannot fork too many process "
i know when we ll get this message but unfortunately i am unable to kill

If any one know to resolve this issue please post ur reply

Thanks

try

Code:

pkill -9 process_name

It will kill all processes which name is "process_name"

Pkill is not available in my server

What operating system is installed there?

old MPRAS server

what would be the reason behind this ?
i had executed one process but ps -ef shows more process(400)with same name

Well without knowing what kind of process was started it is imposible to tell what is causing it. As for killing all instances of that process try this:

Code:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep process_name | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f2 | xargs kill -9

Incase the same re-occurs with every reboots.
