Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
HP-UX 11i 32-bit
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.3D
SYMPTOM(s):
User consuming 67% of the CPU.
User disconnected with PROSHUT, but still using CPU.
Log file shows it disconnected normally.
UNIX commands top and ps show an _progress connected to the DB still running.
FIX:
Use a signal that Progress can trap to stop the process.
Try the following options using the UNIX kill command to stop the defunct process or to release shared memory.
Issue these kills in the following order until you successfully kill the process.
(SIGHUP) terminal hang up signal:
kill - 1 <process id>
(SIGINT) same as doing a Ctrl+C, terminal interrupt:
kill - 2 <process id>
(SIGTERM) default if unspecified is a software likely to release the lock and shared memory being held:
kill -15 <process id>termination
