not sure what you mean by "dead process", but try killing it
kill 10781

if that does not work, try
kill -9 10781

If the process is hung waiting on I/O, then you will either have to wait for the I/O to complete, or probably reboot the system

In our server, Mfg-pro is running in frontend.Progress is backend.

Actually user logged in mfg-pro,that time top command displays TTY and USERNAME are same,after some time i.e half hour or one hour root will takes TTY. so this is dead process or any other ,i don't know.this problem for all user.

How to remove this.

Hi

From your top output this process is not dead but still running.

You say that a user login to mfgpro is taken over by root? - if this occurs then I would look seriously at what the users are doing when this occurs as it appears to be a MFGPRO coding problem.

use TUSC and attach to the process pid and see what it is doing.

TUSC is free and installs without a reboot.

Here is a very userful script for killing processes in bunches.

CAUTION: Use it carefully.
