Killing stubborn UNIX
processes
There are times when a UNIX process cannot be killed, even
with the powerful kill -9 command. In these cases, a special
trick is required to force the UNIX task to terminate. If
you have a situation where a process continues to display
with the ps command, even after you have issued a kill -9
command against the process, you can use this trick.
The stubborn process can be killed by piping the null device
(/dev/null) to the ttyname as a part of the kill command.
The following command is indispensable when killing stubborn
UNIX tasks:
cat /dev/null > /dev/ttyname kill –9
pid#
