Hello all,
I am currently trying to find a way to use simple UNIX commands to kill a specific lighweight process(LWP or thread) of a daemon I am running. For instance, from doing a "ps -efL", I am able to see which LWP I want to get rid of. It has a Thread (or LWP) Id # of 6. Does anyone know of a way to just kill this one thread, while still keeping the daemon running? I know I can use some C functions, but was curious to see if there was a shorter path of difficulty. Thanks so much, and have a good one!
