Stopping Processes

When you are using the Jobs window, you have a few options for stopping processes:

Select a job, right-click, and select Kill Job or Kill all jobs with user userid
Select Job MenuKill Old Processes and then specify a threshold in days for identifying old processes.

When you are viewing ranks, you can right-click on a rank and the menu includes Kill Rank.

All these actions send the UNIX command kill -2 to the processes. This gives the process a chance to exit gracefully. If the processes have not stopped in five seconds, then a

kill
                  -9

signal is sent. Users are not notified of a shutdown, and in-memory tables are unloaded as the server stops. If you have sudo privilege, then you can kill other users’ processes.

Note: It is preferable to stop a server with the TERM option to the LASR procedure, or with the SERVERTERM statement in the IMSTAT or VASMP procedures.
