Our programmers have been creating java based applications that they start and stop using simple scripts. The start script call java to start the program; however the stop script issues a simple kill command against the PID.
Our problem if User A start the program, only User A can kill it (except for root). We want anyone in the group level to be able to also issue the kill command (in the script). Is there a way to allow users in a group to kill each other's started processes. Being new to the zLinux and Java worlds, is it standard to issue a 'kill -9 pid" to terminate a java program? Is there a better way and how does issuing a kill de-allocate memory and other issues?
