Killing All Flint-Related Processes
 
 
 

The .cshrc file that comes with your Flint system contains the alias kf which can be used to kill all Flint processes at once.

To kill all Flint-related processes:

  1. In a shell, type kf.

To verify that all Flint-related processes have been killed:

  1. Type ps -fu <flint account name>.

    This command displays information about all active processes, including the application with which each process is associated, and a process ID number. If all Flint processes have been successfully killed, this command should return no results.

    Never restart Flint if there are still Flint processes left over from a previous session. If some Flint processes persist after using the kill alias, you must kill them independently.
