restarting a process

[Maciej Szewczykowski]

hi everybody,
could you tell me if it's possible to restart a certain process with terminal session? the problem is perhaps that the process i would like to restart is not the HP-UX process, but is initialized by additional software installed. Lets make an assumption that i use

#ps -ef

command and now I know the ID number of the process i would like to have restarted. How to do this? (I use HP-UX v11.0)

thanks.

Well, what was the process? Are you referring to a system process like syslogd or rpcbind? Or are you referring to a user application?

Hi,

you can restart certain process.

e.g : we have AFS client installed on all Unix machines. we can stop and start these AFS process as we need
in HP i do #/sbin/init.d/afs stop/start

hi.
it is a process connected with users application.

When you look at the process with ps -ef, you should see the command that originated the process. Can you just re-enter the command, or is that not what you're asking?

do i really need to install an additional client?

Hi:

You should consider placing an appropriate entry in '/etc/inittab' with the 'respawn' action keyword. In this manner your process will be started, monitored, and restarted upon death.

See the man pages for 'inittab(4)' and 'init(1M)' for more information.

Regards!

the way based on re-entering the command doesn't work, unfortunately.
