Thanks Ben, that worked. The script editing was pretty straight forward. I just changed the following line "ps ax --width=1000 | grep "[j]ava -server com.stevie.ChatServer.Start" | awk '{ system("kill " $1) }'" and added the -9 after the kill in awk.

I won't try to help you with the script part, but you should be able to manually kill the process with: kill -9 `cat /var/run/talk2Utime-chatserver.pid` Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
