which command is used to stop a running process in unix?

Answer Posted / rhino

Hi Sivakumar,

When we know the answer it would be good to post it , As
some of them might not able to find the answers and this
site would help them to get their issues addressed. Here is
how this goes

stop <pid> -- is the command to stop , Below example
explains this better

Ex Prog. to print 10000 numbers

#!/bin/sh
x=1
while [ $x -le 10000 ]
do
echo "No is. $x"

x=`expr $x + 1`
done

If you wish to stop this , Login to the different a/c get
the pid of the prog running as this will take some time to
execute you find sufficient time to do this

Login to other session on the same directory -- give ps -a
and check the prog. running stop it using below

ps -a ---> is the command used to check all the processes
running

stop 17872 (17872 is the pid of the program -- This will
stop the prog. as below

o/p :

No is. 8128
No is. 8129
[1] + Stopped (SIGSTOP) ./prnNo1

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 1 No
