Hi,

First do a ps -ef| grep <PID>

This shows you who the owner of the process is, if it is owned by <sid>adm ora<sid> kill it using <sid>adm or ora<sid>.

It it is owned by anyone other than the above kill using root.

syntax is: kill <PID> or if you want to use the hard kill then kill -9 <PID>.

Hope this helps.

Login as root and issue the command

kill -9 <PID>

If not root then login with <SID>ADM or ORA<SID>

and same command

Hi,

You need to learn some basics of OS which you are working on.

the pid you want to kill is SAP process if yes then try to kill it using SM50

or with sidadm user execute kill <pid>
