Kill stuck process (java app)

[pc123_1]

Hello.
Accidentally I ran awt demo that comes with hp-ux java development kit while being logged in in text mode. The system got stuck.
Could you help how to kill this process? I'm logged in as regular user.

Hi,
As that user
$su -
#ps -ef | grep awt
kill the processes.if not, reboot the system
#reboot
regards,
U.SivaKumar

I'm assuming you can log onto another session...

Collect the pids & ppids of the whole chain of commands you wish to kill.

e.g. pid 123 is the process you wish to kill

ps -fp 123 # look at the 3rd column and it will show the PPID.

repeat up & down the chain & note cmd:pid:ppid.

You should get back to the original "awt" command. Then

kill -15 # for all the pids you want to get rid of
ps -fp # make sure they have gone away
If they have not use a bigger hammer
kill -9

Thank you very much for replies. But the problem is that I started the process from local console. It got blocked. Then I tried to login remotely, from a LAN terminal using telnet, vt100 emulation, but I won't get login screen.
Had to do ugly reboot of the system (power off).

You ain't having much luck... Console problems, app problems...

It seems like there were no app and console problems when you started to work with hp for the first time. Otherwise I don't understand these words. Or is there a forum where I can ask simple questions?

In any case, thank you for your answers.

You may want to ask your sysadmin
to check if the java requirements are met on this box.

http://www.hp.com/go/java
...
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/infolibrary/patches.html
for recent recommendations.

BTW-lazy me-
show_patches > 1
F=1
cat java-req.txt |grep PH |sed 's/^.*\(PH.._[0-9]\{4,5\}\)[^0-9]*.*$/\1/g' |while read P
do
if grep -q "$P" $F
then echo .\\c
else echo "$P missing in $F ?"
fi
done

hth, tom.
