Hi.
I have a process running on my machine at priority 7r which I can’t kill
using ‘slay’ or ‘kill’. I have to shutdown the machine! How do you kill
such processes?
Thanks
Augie
Run one of them:
kill -9 <proc_id>
kill -sigkill <proc_id>
kill -KILL <proc_id>

If you have a higher priority process consuming all the CPU,
that process won’t be able to process the kill event.

How high? The processes in question are workers for Photon apps, they run
at 7r.
They run READY after something goes wrong and I can’t kill them.

sin | grep READY - then slay -h all the processes at 8 or higher.
Afterthought: You may see Proc or Dev in this list; leave them be.
Not necessary ALL proccess 
Some may be in READY state
and not consume the CPU totaly.
After the process you killed dies, slay -u will start up the
processes you held via the slay -h.Richard

Just higher then the process you are trying to kill, or even
at the same priority if the process are 7f .
The idea is the process needs some CPU to handle the kill event.
They run READY after something goes wrong and I can’t kill them.

If this does not work, there are some other possibilities.
-
This process has made itself unkillable. If this is the
case, the only options are to either find out how it wants to
be killed, or shut the system down. -
This process is REPLY blocked on another process that
catches signals to the first process, and then ignores them.
If this is the case, you can try killing the second process. -
No cpu is getting to the process to allow time to die.
This is fairly unlikely. -
If the process is now a ZOMBIE, its parent needs to
either do a wait(), or die before the ZOMBIE will go away.
