Duplicate Processes

[Achille Costabile]

Hi all,

I have a HP-UX 11.0 box running, and I get error messages saying that there are two nktl_daemon and two ntl_reader processes runnning.

My first question is what do these processes do?? Do they have something to do with network (console) logging??

Second question is, of the duplicates, one process is dated back a couple of days. Can I simply kill these dated processes off?? will that affect anyhting else on the system??

Thanks in advance

Achille

Hi Achille,
these two process are part of the Network Tracing and Logging system but I am not sure what they do specifically.

You must have only one of each running. If I were you I would try this:
Stop the Network Tracing and Logging system
#nettl stop
See if the process ntl_reader and nktl_daemon are still running, if true kill them.
Start the Network Tracing and Logging system
#nettl start
