Hello Wong, Following is my approach in this case...
--Execute the "ps -A" command -- Observe the third column , which is total time taken by process -- check the process ID from the first column -- send a kill -9 signal to required process ID If any confusion is left, then do mail back... -----Original Message----- From: Danny Wong (dannwong) [mailto:dannw...@cisco.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 4:12 AM To: perl-ithreads@perl.org Subject: Killing a thread Hi Perl Thread GURUS, Here is my situation. I started, say 10 threads, executing some command, 1 or 2 of them is hanging for over 2 hours. I want to put in some logic that if the thread run time passes an hour threshold kill that thread or return and fail the thread. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this task? Thanks. Sincerely yours, Danny H. Wong "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Aricent and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
