How to Stop pinging process

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi Basheer,

Try either:

ctrl-C
or
del

depending on the term type.

Rgds,
Jeff

Or open another session and find the pid, and kill it.

Rgds...Geoff

Try this,

^e c f (control E, c, f keys) forces console
^b will escape console mode and return to main menu

Robert-Jan

Hi,

^e c f (control E, c, f keys) forces console
=============

This will not work here as it is for GSP.

Find out the sessions logged in from any terminal and kill the one logged in on console. Otherwise also "del" or "Ctrl+c"shall be enough to stop the ping.

#who -u (To know the logged in users)

HTH,
Devender

Tried All of those, None of them Worked

Okay - what are you using to connect to the mp port?

I use putty, and just did a test, connected to the mp port of one of my servers, selected partition 0, logged in as root, then pinged a server.

To stop it, I did a
Ctrl c

Try Ctrl z, then kill %1

Hi Geff

Thanks

this is what I am doing
1) tried putty ( can NOT connect)

I can only telnet from dos win ( I dont understand why it is NOT connecting from putty)
1)I telnet from dos-win
2) login
3) CO
4) 0 ( select only one partition 0)
after this It keeps displaying the ping response)
tried
Ctrl-C
del

so far nothing worked

[Geoff Wild]

Sounds like the console was already logged in...

Try:

Ctrl e cf

That above will bump the current active connection - and give you control...

Then you should be able to Ctrl c the ping.

Putty should work, default setting should be fine...mine has under "Connection" Terminal-type string set to xterm, speeds 38400,28400

Rgds...Geoff

[Mel Burslan]

log into the system using a shell and find the session attached to the console, and following the PID and PPID numbers trail, locate the ping process and kill it using kill -HUP or if it does not work, kill -9

[Geoff Wild]

oops...that should read 38400,38400!

Key sequence for bump is:

push and hold the Ctrl key, press e, release all, then press c then f keys...

Rgds...Geoff

[Basheer_2]

When I do a Ctrl-Shift E, then c then f
( I know how these keys work, i have done GSP)

when I do these, says
Already Console Owner

bumped - user

When I telnet I alwaus get the MP login
so tehre is no way to find the PID

[Mel Burslan]

If you telnet to this host and getting the MP prompt, there is something wrong with your IP resolution. It means that your hostname is mapped to the IP address of the lan console, not to the system's regular lan interface. Unless this is an itentional security related concern (nobody other than console can connect interactively kind of deal) you need to talk to network admins and get the ip address of the regular lan interfaces and telnet/ssh using this ip address. Then you can login and find the PID of ping.

Hi Basheer ,

What happens if you simply close the session.
And kill the session from unix using kill -9 ..,if it established any unix session.
Which model of server this is ..

hth,
Raj.

[Mel Burslan]

how do you connect to this system ? Soemthing like :

telnet hostname

form dos/command prompt ?

and you said you have problems connecting, using putty. what do you do on putty and what error are you getting ? Time out ? Connection rejected/refused ? or what else ? And while using putty, are you sure your default protocol is telnet or are you sure you are not accidentally selecting raw, rlogin or ssh by any chance ?

[Basheer_2]

Thanks

Nothing Worked so far
