One process is automatically starting again and again even after killed couple of times.

Hi All,

The following process is  automatically starting again and again even after killed couple of times.

# ps -ef | grep -i CLEException

root 13475 1 0 Apr15 ? 00:12:39 /opt/tibco/bw/5.9/bin/bwengine --pid --run --propFile /opt/tibco/tra/domain/prod01_tra57/application/CLE2007ExceptionManagement2-1/CLE2007ExceptionManagement2-1-CLEExceptionMgmt.tra --innerProcess

How to kill permanently.

Is there an entry for this in inittab(5)?

A bit of Googling suggests this process might belong to a software called TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Service Engine.

It seems to be a (possibly optional?) component of the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks suite.

Do you want to stop the entire TIBCO application suite, or just this one process?

To stop just this process only, you should probably use the TIBCO Administrator Server to tell the TIBCO suite that you don't want to run this Service Engine on this host any more. If you just try to kill it, the other TIBCO processes assume that the Service Engine process has crashed and will quickly restart it.

The TIBCO application suite seems to be a complex one, and it might be set up on multiple servers, all controlled by a single Administrator Server. If you want to shut down the entire TIBCO suite on this host, you will apparently need to shut down at least something called a "TIBCO Host Instance" and one or more "nodes". According to a quick browse through the TIBCO documentation, these seem to be the processes that automatically start and stop most other TIBCO processes. Depending on how the TIBCO suite is set up on your site, there may or may not be other components you need to shut down too.

You really should find someone at your site that knows how your TIBCO application suite is set up. If there is no such person and no documentation about your specific set-up available, then I'm afraid you have to read a lot of TIBCO documentation, examine your system(s) to identify all the TIBCO application components and their roles, and document the setup at your site.

Hi Matti_kurkela,

Can you post that link where you found the following information.

To stop just this process only, you should probably use the TIBCO Administrator Server to tell the TIBCO suite that you don't want to run this Service Engine on this host any more. If you just try to kill it, the other TIBCO processes assume that the Service Engine process has crashed and will quickly restart it.


Thanks a lot for you help and support.
