PROCESSES BY NETWORK FILESYSTEM
Note: The Processes By Network Filesystem functionality does not work
correctly in version 4.1x of the Sun operating system. The resulting
report may be incomplete and/or display processes which are NOT
associated with the selected partitions.
Then you can select a process and use the menu buttons to impact it,
as described in the following subsections.
Terminate
This command is very powerful and can be extremely dangerous. It
will immediately kill the highlighted process. This command will not
kill related processes, so if there are child processes running they
will become orphans and will have to be terminated separately. A
pop-up window will prompt you for verification to terminate the
process.
Hangup
This command is similar to the Terminate command, except it provides
enough time for the process to shutdown properly. This means the
process can close any files and terminate any child processes. A
pop-up window will prompt you for verification to hangup the
process.
Suspend
This command stops a process from working, but it does not terminate
the process. Essentially, this command puts a process on hold; it
can be activated again at a later time. You must use the Continue
command to re-activate a suspended process. A pop-up window will
prompt you for verification to suspend the process. This command is
not supported on NT.
Continue
This command allows you to re-activate a process which was
previously put on hold by a Suspend command. A pop-up window will
prompt you for verification to resume the process.
Priority
This command allows you to change the priority of a process. This
priority determines when the CPU acts on a process. It may have a
value from -20 to +20; the smaller the number, the higher the
priority. Clicking on the Priority button activates a Process
Priority window. You can enter the desired priority or use the arrow
buttons to make your selection.
