Answer / pradi
We can stop the running processes in unix using
1) Kill command
2) Udw command
Usage:
1)bash# Kill process_id
will stop the process and immedaitely it will restarts on
its own with a new pid.
2)bash# udw process: process_name
will stops the running process. And again we want to
restart it then issue the command
bash# udw process: process_name t
will restarts the process.

Answer / c sivakumar
If we want to kill a process first we have to know the
process id. We cam come to know ps or top command.
Then we have to identify the respective proce's child
process with the help of ptree command. Then we can give
kill id-1 id-2
example:- Take an example while using ps command
# ps
PID TT S TIME COMMAND
2243 pts/16 S 0:00 -csh
now we identified the PID no (2243) with the help of above
said ps command.
Then we have to give following command to know child
process_-
ptree 2243
1498 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
2062 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
2199 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
2205 -csh
2243 -csh
11535 ptree 2243
Now we can kill above said all ids.
kill 1498 2062 2199 2205 2243 11535
