Dear Sun Managers,
I ended up "hanging up" these processes:
# kill -HUP `ps -e | grep dtscreen | awk '{print $1}'`
and sending a SIGKILL to these processes,
as they would not respond to the hang-up:
# kill -9 `ps -e | grep dtexec | awk '{print $1}'`
I am still not sure why all of these processes ended up
on the Ultra1. If anyone has any further ideas I would
still be glad to receive mail about this.
I did not receive any responses to my original message.
original message:
Dear Sun Managers,
The executables,
/usr/dt/bin/dtexec
/usr/dt/bin/dtscreen
are being left as lingering processes on my Sun Ultra1 Creator.
I would like to find out why they are lingering, get rid of them
in a safe way, and fix the machine so that this problem doesn't persist.
Any help would be very much appreciated, and I will summarize.
Thanks in advance,
Michael Phelan
The details:
There are many instances of each:
# ps -ef | grep dtexec | wc -l
666
# ps -ef | grep dtscreen | wc -l
558
Here is a small sample from
# ps -ef

/usr/dt/bin/dtscreen is a command to bring up a "screen saver" program.
I am not sure what dtexec does.
I have searched the man pages, and found no entry for dtexec or
dtscreen.
SunSolve had some unrelated bug reports relating to these commands, and
patches, but all for Solaris 2.6
docs.sun.com had no relevent references to these two commands.
