The user is permanently running a DEBUG process that cannot be killed through SM50. Bad thing is that debugging can't be activated by anyone in the system because of this process. </P><P></P><P>This could have been solved by killing the process by PID on OS level. I don't have physical access to the system, that's why I used SM49 to force a KILLTASK to the server, but problem is that this doesn't really kill the process. I get kill confirmation, but the process continues, only it's PID changes. I tried SAPNTKILL as well - same result.</P><P></P><P>Any ideas why would this be happening? Am I doing something wrong? Is bouncing the server the only solution?</P><P></P><P>Yuri</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 07:12:25 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/killing-process-by-pid/qaq-p/6250771 Former Member 2009-09-24T07:12:25Z Re: Killing process by PID https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/killing-process-by-pid/qaa-p/6250772#M2292775 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Is it no possible to give the PID to somebody who controls the OS and request to Kill PID instead of requesting them to stop instance?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:00:39 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/killing-process-by-pid/qaa-p/6250772#M2292775 Former Member 2009-09-24T09:00:39Z Re: Killing process by PID https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/killing-process-by-pid/qaa-p/6250773#M2292776 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>This would require a ticket with 2-4 day reply time.
