This functionality is a +PxPlus Exclusive |
|||
| Format | KILL
procid Where:
|
||
| Description | The
KILL command can be used to terminate a
PxPlus process on the system (although technically it can
terminate any process). The process id specified in procis
will be verified as a currently running process and
if so a terminate request will be sent to the task. The KILL command will not allow a user to kill their own process. |
||
| Security | The
KILL command can be secured by creating
a security program *it.dbg/security and placing a
password on it. Whatever password is chosen for the
program will be the password required to issue a KILL
command. The contents of the program are not used so a
simple remark line would as the program would be
sufficient. In addition Operating System security will also control who can KILL a process. Generally only a system supervisor (such as the Unix/Linux root userid) or a user with Administrator permissions can terminare processes. |
