Cannot stop a specific process or thread within that process

[Justin Olson]

There is one particular process in my site that will not stop.  There is one thread within this process that shows as UP and I also cannot stop that thread.  Other processes and threads can stop and start just fine.

Any suggestions?

Sometimes you can be fooled and the thread/process is really not running.

Go to the process directory and look for a file named pid.

Look in that file to find the pid it “thinks” it’s running on.

Then do a system status to find out what’s really running on that pid.

If it’s not a Cloverleaf process, delete that pid file and start over.

NetMonitor looks at that pid file and if it finds any job running with that pid, it assumes the process is running and shows up even if it’s not a Cloverleaf process.

This may not be your problem but it has fooled me before.

That was the ticket. Thanks!
