Restarting a process

Hi,

How is it possible to restart only your process. I can get the process killed but I am not able to start it.

For eg : i first did this ps -ef|grep _out --displays all the process with _out in the name

then I killed kill -15 36044 -- process id.

Now how can i start the same process back on.

thought?

FYI : I am using an AIX 5.2 server.

If you killed it with TERM, it is gone, and can't be "restarted". You can only make a new one, by various means. It won't end up with the same process ID. How you ought to do it really depends on what it was doing and what ran it in the first place.
