Kill a specific process

[Anonymous]

Hi There,

Wondering if its is possible to kill a specific process based on ID. I ask as currently experiencing this issue:

code:

AP870-1.2 # show tech-support
Another session is already collecting system information

AP870-1.3 # show session
                               CLI
  #    Login Time        User   Type  Auth  Auth Location
================================================================================
*132    Wed Aug 14 18:14:59 2019 XMCac .. ssh2  local dis xxx.227.102.250

When I do a top I see this entry:

code:

 PID PPID USER   STAT  RSS %MEM CPU %CPU COMMAND
 9253 2578 root   S  11188 0.1  3 0.0 /exos/bin/expy -m showtech -- -u 1 -c show tech-support all detail

Wondering, do I perhaps just restart this process name:

code:

Process Name   Version Restart  State       Start Time    Group
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
techSupport   1.0.0.0   0  Ready    Sat Jul 27 05:25:33 2019 EXOS

or is there a way to kill the process by process ID?

Version: 22.5.1.7
Switch: X870-96x-8c

Many thanks in advance

Ah, Ok, I'll give them a call. Thanks

There is a way through debug mode, GTAC should be able to sort it out for you. Keep in mind that the process may reboot the switch, depending on the stability of the process.
