Question

I have created a job with the at command on Solaris 10.

It s working now but I want to kill it but I don t know how I can find the job number and how to kill that job or process.

Answer 1

You should be able to find your command with a ps variant like:

ps -ef
ps -fubob # if your job s user ID is bob.

Then, once located, it should be a simple matter to use kill to kill the process (permissions permitting).

If you re talking about getting rid of jobs in the at queue (that aren t running yet), you can use atq to list them and atrm to get rid of them.

Answer 2

To delete a job which has not yet run, you need the atrm command. You can use atq command to get its number in the at list.

To kill a job which has already started to run, you ll need to grep for it using:

ps -eaf | grep <command name>

and then use kill to stop it.

A quicker way to do this on most systems is:

pkill <command name>

Answer 3

at -l to list jobs, which gives return like this:

age2%> at -l
11      2014-10-21 10:11 a hoppent
10      2014-10-19 13:28 a hoppent

atrm 10 kills job 10

Or so my sysadmin told me, and it

Answer 4

First

ps -ef

to list all processes. Note the the process number of the one you want to kill. Then

kill 1234

were you replace 1234 with the process number that you want.

Alternatively, if you are absolutely certain that there is only one process with a particular name, or you want to kill multiple processes which share the same name

killall processname
