How to start/stop processes

Please anyone tell me

In my last interview the HR asks me how to monitor, start,stop & kill the various processes and subprocesses.

Please anyone explain me clearly. It's my personal request

You can use

Code:
svcs -xv | grep process

Most of services are under SMF control so you can use

Code:
svcadm enable

to enable service
Code:
svcadm disable

to disable service
Code:
svcadm restart

to restart service

for killig process , you use signals we have too mnay signals , but most importanat are -9 to kill (last solution) and 15 (kill signal but enable to process to clean his own trash)

so
Code:
 man kill

to find out parent - child process you can use
Code:
ps -o user,pid,ppid,command -ax | grep x

every child process has hit own unique PID and you can kill them
using or pkill or kill command
