Thanks for the information, Anthony. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Corrente [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 29, 2005 7:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] +AFs-UD+AF0- Halting a Unidata process
Hi Tom, Using kill -TERM [udtpid] (as you suggest), should not corrupt files. Infact kill -TERM is what the stopudt script (NOT stopud!!!) does. :!cat $UDTBIN/stopudt #! /bin/sh # # This script is to be used on Unix platforms. # # stopudt: Stops one or more udt or mach processes cleanly, # by process id. kill -TERM $* exit 0 ---------------------------- A kill -KILL (kill -9) has and will lead to file corruption if the process being killed is in the process of updating files etc... Also, check out the deleteuser command. To be used with caution :HELP DELETEUSER deleteuser Syntax deleteuser pid Description The system-level deleteuser command deletes a process, removing its identification number (pid) from the active UniData user list, and freeing up a UniData license. This command sends a signal to the process requesting that the process terminate in an orderly manner, then waits for five seconds to see if the process was terminated. If the process is still active, deleteuser forces immediate termination of the process. deleteuser can be helpful to clean up orphaned processes after a system crash or when an active process aborts. Use this command at the system prompt, or use the ECL ! (bang) command to execute this command from the ECL prompt. Warning: Killing a process that may be accessing a file may cause file corruption. Forcing a process to terminate interrupts writes in progress. Note: To execute the deleteuser command, you must log in as root on UniData for UNIX or as Administrator on UniData for Windows Platforms. ----------------------------- Regards, Anthony Corrente. --- "Cordes, Tom (contractor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > We are running UD 5.2.32 on Sun 5.9.
