Re: Help, processes won't die

It is smon who takes care of cleaning up after killed jobs. You can pay him now or pay him later as the metaphor is mixed but you will have to let him do his job. You can try a shutdown abort and startup but they smon will do the cleanup in the background while your users scream.

So, Kim is right. You have to let smon do his thing. HTH,
Ruth
