Find all child processes
 

Hi All,

i want to check all the child processes attached to a specific process.
Say for a example; my process is a java process. then i wanna know what are the processes attached to that java process.

at the moment i use the command # ps aux|grep java ; this gives the details about the currently running java process. so i can kill the whole java process using #kill -9 {pid} ...but there are sub processes attached (i guess child processes) to java process. i wanna view all of them & kill whatever the process i like.not the whole thing.

i'm using Red hat 5 enterprise edition. and currently a weblogic application server is running on that.

please somebody give me a hand to solve this out.


Thanks in advanced.

You can see a process tree using either ps -ejH or ps fax.
