As usual, David gives excellent advice! Use kill -9 (or kill -KILL) as a last resort. SIGSUSP (^Z) is almost as bad.
mupip stop PID is designed for exactly this purpose. It is also equivalent to kill -15 (kill -TERM) which you can use. Note that with the mupip interrupt capability, you can set up a process to respond to an interrupt, and, for example, you can set up a process to break on interrupt, or to dump diagnostic information. It's very powerful. -- Bhaskar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 11/29/2004 7:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] How to abort runaway GTM programs Bhaskar will probably interject, but there is a command: mupip stop PID which will do what you want safely. (kill -9 is considered a last resort by most Unix folks) so to kill job 9392 you would use: mupip top 9392 to find the job (pid=process id) number you would use in mumps: D ^ZSY or in Linux: ps -C mumps or the command to find the high CPU users (in Linux) : top > > I can't run GT.M on my PowerBook, so I'm not speaking from experience > here, but the first thing I'd try is ctrl-Z (which sends SIGSTP to the > process) then type > > $ jobs > > to see if it comes up.
