we encounted something strange in our new AIX 5.3 yesterday. A remote user login to the database, ran their code and caused high CPU utilization. So, we found his pid through "_connect" table and tried to "kill" it. what happened was that the pid is now gong from OS prompt, but still showing up in the "_connect" table and the high CPU usage remains. We can't kill the pid anymore because it is not there. has this happened to you before? any reason for this?

thanks,

:confused:
 
You should be disconnecting them with Promon instead of killing them anyway. Did you try that?
 
Did you kill the remote user on the remote server? Or did you kill a local user who happens to have the remote user's PID?

What signal did you send? (Hint: -9 would be a very bad idea...)

What version of Progress are you using?

How do you know that this particular, remote, user caused high cpu usage? And how high is high?
