killing a process
Hi all,
trying to kill a process, tried both kill and kill -9 but no use...
Code:
# ps -ef|grep db
root 8454280 1 0 Aug 17 - 0:14 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd
# kill 8454280
# echo $?
0
# ps -ef|grep db
root 8454282 1 0 09:42:19 - 0:00 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd
and then tried
# kill -9 8454282
# echo $?
0
# ps -ef|grep db
root 8454284 1 0 10:18:31 - 0:00 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd
The process is still there ? any other way other than reboot ? |

Maybe this will work better:
Code:
kill -9 `pidof /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd`

@MCD555: Not sure what 'monit configured' is ?
@byannoni: you mean to copy and paste all of your code on command line ? as it is kill -9 `pidof /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd`

sorry still little confused...but none below worked...
Code:
# kill -9 `pidof /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd`
ksh: pidof: not found.
ksh: kill: 0403-008 The number of parameters specified is not correct.
# kill -9 pidof /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd
ksh: pidof: Specify a process identifier or a %job number.
# kill -9 pidof 8454284
ksh: pidof: Specify a process identifier or a %job number.
# kill -9 8454284
# echo $?
0
# kill -9 8454286 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd
ksh: /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd: Specify a process identifier or a %job number.
# kill -9 `8454286 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd`
ksh: 8454286: not found.
ksh: kill: 0403-008 The number of parameters specified is not correct.
The process is still there
# ps -ef|grep db
root 8454286 1 0 10:58:04 - 0:00 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd

The pidof command just give you the process number.
That info is used by kill -9.
Monit is a tool to monitoring and restart daemon and process on a server ...

Sorry, I didn't realize that you don't have pidof. Try these, at least one should work:
Code:
pkill -9 db2fmcd
pkill -9 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd
kill -9 `pgrep db2fmcd`
kill -9 `pgrep /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd`
killall -9 db2fmcd
killall -9 /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd

Using "$()" is the same as using backticks.
Edit2:
What OS are you using? Is this a daemon/service?

Hi all,
thanks for your replies...i got it solved by commenting out the line corresponding to db2 in /etc/inittab file and the process is gone now.
Code:
# grep db2 /etc/inittab
:fmc:2:respawn:/opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator
and the process is gone now
# ps -ef|grep db2
root 10158234 9961716 0 11:19:18 pts/0 0:00 grep db2
