I have attached my server top command process,in this top command,the 1st process is a dead process or anyother process. how to remove this one. This process is reduced server performance.so how to remove this.

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.
