For Windows: Not Supported
The kill UNIX BASIC program sends a UNIX signal to a D3 or UNIX process. Signals can be specified by their names, rather than by their number, and D3 processes by their port numbers instead of the UNIX PIDs.
Syntax
|
kill {-[signo|signame]} [pid|ppib] {[pid|ppib]...} |
Parameter(s)
|
signo |
Optional signal number in decimal. If not specified, SIGTERM is sent. |
|
signame |
Optional signal name. Among the valid signal lists are: {SIG}TERM, {SIG}HUP, and {SIG}USR2. If not specified, SIGTERM is sent. |
|
p pib |
Indicates the D3 PIB (port number), prefixed by the letter p. |
|
’kill’ |
Checks that none of the specified processes have a PID of 0, which would kill all processes in the group, usually resulting in an abrupt shutdown of the D3 virtual machine. |
|
WARNING |
Killing the flush process logs off D3 processes immediately and shuts down the entire virtual machine. Killing the flusher can be accomplished by using the form P<process.number> with a PIB number equal to -2:
This should not be the normal way to shut down a virtual machine, because it loses overflow. It can be used only to do an emergency shutdown, due to an imminent power failure, for instance. |
Example(s)
Kills the (UNIX) process associated with port 17.
|
kill p17 |
Sends a signal, sigalrm, to the UNIX process associated with port 33 and to the UNIX process whose PID is 7143.
|
kill -sigalrm p33 7143 |
Sends a signup to port 0.
|
kill -1 p0 |
