Good Afternoon Janet: Yes, your system admins will be annoyed if you run endless processes that they are unaware of.
Use the 'ps' command to find out the process id (PID) of the gfServer process. Then issue a 'kill' signal to that pid. For example: $ ps -ef | grep gfServer yourUserName 31479 31478 0 Jan12 pts/43 00:04:17 /scratch/gfServer start hostname ... etc ... The second column there is the PID: 31479 To issue a polite kill command: $ kill -s 15 31479 If the 15 doesn't kill it, try 1 or 2 or final resort of 9 To see what these numbers mean for signal type: $ kill -l --Hiram Janet Young wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm trying to stop three gfServers I started earlier.
