Morning Greg,

I don't know how gracefully you want, but I've had no problems with :

        ps -ef|grep -i imp | grep -v grep | grep -i <username_doing_import>

followed by

        kill -9 <pid_of_imp_session>

After than I run a script to tidy up the carnage in the scheme I was importing into, and start the correct import again.

Cheers,
Norman.

PS. Of course, the above is Unix.

guys/gals,

Is it possible to interrupt or stop an ongoing IMPORT ("imp") command? I want to stop it gracefully if possible.

thanks,
