Okay , so I'm new to this :

What is the command to kill a process using HP-UX ?

Thanks...

Find the process id of what you are trying to kill and then type kill UseProcessIdHere .Ie:

#ps -ef
...
root 9241 1092 0 14:57:11 ttyp1 0:00 telnetd -b /etc/issue
...
#kill 9241


If that will not get rid of it then do a kill -9 UseProcessIDHere That just kills the program and is not nice at all.
