RHEL OE10.2B08
We have a number of OE background processes running on the server.
We ran into a situation this morning (and have the same issue every once in a blue moon) where we cannot kill the job. Using various levels of kill (but not -9), the job just won't go away.
I then used promon to remove the user from the db, and it appears to have worked. However the batch job just wouldn't go away. I then had to reboot the server to get it to clean up.
My question is once the user is gone from the db and no longer showing in promon, would it be safe to use a kill -9 on the PID or are we still looking at potential disaster?
