The "init 6" command will also do the trick, if you are logged in as root. Of course, if you are on linux, you can try with pkill, which is described in detail in the place few would bother to look: man pages. If looking in manual pages is against your beliefs for whatever reasons, you might give a try to command like this: ps -ef|egrep "PATTERN"|egrep -v "PID|egrep"|awk '{ print $2; }'|xargs kill -9 On the other hand, if you are on a BSD system, then "kill -9 1" or "init q" will also do the trick. The decision is yours. -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity to which it is addressed.
