Deleting a process from a script file

[selva3k]

Hi,
I want to delete a process in script file in unix.
The process is having owner as "root"
But the script execution is having lesser permission.

I got the pid in script file but if i try to kill that pid, it is not deleting.

I think it is due to the permission issue.

Please give me a solution.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

You'd have to use something like sudo to give the user temporary root privilege to delete the process.

I agree, you will need somethig like sudo, to allow this. With sudo, you can allow to an user the execution of any command as root. A normal user cannot kill another user's process.

If you prefer not to use a shareware product like sudo, there is also 'dop' which is included with Tru64.

Ask your system administrator (root) to kill that process. As mentioned earlier, one user cannot kill another users' processes.
