How to Control Processes

1. Obtain the process ID of the process that you want to control.

   $ pgrep process

   The process ID displayed in the first column of the output.

2. If you do not own the process, assume the root role.

   $ su root
   root password: password
   #

3. Use the appropriate process command to control the process.

   # /usr/bin/pcommand PID

   pcommand

   The process command that you want to run. For a description of all the process commands, see Using the /proc File System and Commands.

   PID

   The process ID.

4. Verify the process status.

   # ps -ef | grep PID
