RE: Determining a 'process id'

Rob,

Are you working with TSM on the 400?  Do you have the Admin Command Line
application on your PC?

| ENDJOB *CNTRLD didn't do it
| ENDJOB *IMMED didn't do it
| ENDJOBABN didn't do it.
| Nope, need to kill that process.  Thus breaking out to a system command to
| kill the job isn't going to cut it.
| 
| Care to look in on a little Sametime chat?
| 
| Laura Watson/D...       In the meantime, can you run the kill command with
| the information I gave you above:   772928/WATSON/QP2FORK?
| Rob Berendt/D...        Wouldn't that just be ENDJOB?
| Laura Watson/...        Well it would if that actually ended the job.  I
| have 3 that I'm trying to kill and I've been working with IBM to try and
| get the process IDs.  I'm waiting for a call back.  In the meantime, I
| noticed these jobs still running after signing off and I know they need to
| die.  I told them to end *immed and they are mocking me.

| Rob Berendt/D...        I'm no expert on PASE.  To get to the shell I

| Laura Watson/...        If you do "ps -ef" once you are in the shell, does

| Maybe I'd kill 106638, 106655 and 106726?
| Laura Watson/D...       I'll give that a try.  thanks!
| Laura Watson/...        I tried and they would not die.
| Laura Watson/...        Sorry it took me so long.  I got interrupted by
| Don Allen for 45 minutes.
| Laura Watson/...        Can you try and kill 106638, 106655, and 106726
| just in case it is an authority issue?
| Rob Berendt/D...        It won't be an authority issue.  There is another
| command... ENDJOBABN.  Can sometimes make strange things happen during
| your next ipl.  Built for just such a situation.
| Laura Watson/...        Another handy command they told me about is "ps
| -ef | grep watson"   The "|" is the bar above the \ key.  This lets you
| pare down the list.
| Laura Watson/...        That didn't work earlier, but I think it is just
| becuase my QP2TERM sessions were getting locked up.
| Laura Watson/D...       I also found documentation that shows the
| following command to help you trace from the process id to the AS400 job:
| 
| Laura Watson/D...       system qsh "cmd('getjobid 106638')"
| Laura Watson/D...       It returns:
| Laura Watson/...         Process identifier 106638 is
| 772928/WATSON/WATSONS5
| Laura Watson/...        When you get off the phone, can you help me kill
| these nasty jobs?  Thanks!

| you can use the "system" command(?) that allows you to run a CL command,

| Determining a 'process id'
| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
| I had a coworker here working on an iSeries PASE based Tivoli solution.
| She asked me a question.  She has to issue a 'kill' command to stop a
| 'process id'.  She knows that it is a particular job, like
| number/user/jobname, however ENDJOB is not the appropriate command.  Is
| there a way to determine the process id?
