accidentally deleted pid file

[Julie Kimmel]

Hello to all,

luckily….in a test process….I accidentally deleted a pid file….(I thought that I was in a different directory…luckily, I was in a test process)

any way….what I am noticing is that when I shut down that process, all threads say dead, but messages are still being passed through.

Anyone know how to recuperate from deleting a pid? Is what I am seeing typical of such a mistake?

Thanks,

Julie

I believe that the stop site command uses the pid file to kill the engine process.

If you are on Unix, you can issue a ‘ps’ command and then stop the process with the ‘kill’ command.

On the unix server, type something like

ps -ef | grep

eg

ps -ef | grep top_prod_rp

Thanks for the reply, Richard.

I found the little zombie PID, and I killed it.

Thank you!
