Dear Friends ,
I am using DB2 database in AIX 5.3 server . In my server some IDLE process are generated after several times which I need to kill it manually each and every time .

The process I query like following :

root@bagpuss $ ps auxw|sort -r +3|head -10
USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT STIME TIME COMMAND
sharon 1658958 0.1 9.0 218016 214804 - A Sep 13 38:16 db2agent (idle) 0
dpf 1036486 0.0 1.0 14376 14068 - A Sep 17 3:10 db2hmon 0
sharon 1822932 0.0 1.0 12196 11608 - A Sep 12 6:41 db2hmon 0

dpf 786672 0.0 0.0 9264 8984 - A Sep 17 3:02 db2hmon 5
dpf 1077470 0.0 0.0 9264 8968 - A Sep 17 3:03 db2hmon 1
dpf 1269798 0.0 0.0 9248 9044 - A Sep 17 2:50 db2hmon 4
db2inst1 454756 0.0 0.0 9012 7120 - A Jul 19 0:52 db2sysc 0


Now , I want to create a script which helps me to find out the IDLE process and Kill that process automatically using PID.

Would anybody help me to give a sample script to do it ?

I am grateful to you . Waiting for Kind reply ... ....

You mean you want to kill the process
How about grep'ping for the 'db2agent (idle)' string, then cutting out the PID
and call the kill command?
