Re: HP-UX Daemons
How to stop it depends entirely on the daemon you want to stop.

Re: HP-UX Daemons
# /sbin/init.d/spx stop
If not, what product is this daemon part of? Perhaps there is a script for the product itself.

Re: HP-UX Daemons
Not sure what is the spx deamon? Is it printer related? If you know the packages that installed this deamon, you can find the binary to start/stop this deamon.
Or else you can abruptly kill the deamon kill -9

> Muru: Or else you can abruptly kill the deamon kill -9
Using 'kill -9' on anything other than a process that *first* doesn't respond to a simple kill ('kill -TERM') or generally for daemons ('kill -HUP') is asking for trouble.
A 'kill -9' can't be caught (or trapped) by a signal handler and thus doesn't give a process to a chance to remove temporary files or shared memory segments.

Re: HP-UX Daemons
I should clarify a bit: daemons often use a 'kill -HUP' to re-read any configuration file and/or restart. One example is with the 'syslogd' daemon where this can be done with:
# kill -HUP $(< /var/run/syslog.pid)
What exactly a process does with a signal is dependent on the signal and the coding of any signal handlers. Signals have default actions and some can be ignored of caused to perform the action of their signal handler as I noted. A 'KILL" (-9) can't be trapped which means you have no ability to do anything.
Regards!

Re: HP-UX Daemons
At first, you need to find out what is this particular daemon used for. Post the output of the following commands:
To find the responsible init script:
# grep -l spx /sbin/init.d/*
If a filename is printed as a result, you might found the init script for your spx daemon. At best, you should try this to stop the daemon:
# /sbin/init.d/[spx_init_script] stop
If this doesn't help,
To find out the location of the binary:
# ps -ef | grep spx
# whereis spx
Look among the man pages:
# catman
# man -k spx

Viktor
