Killing All Backdraft Conform-Related Processes
 
 
 

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

To kill all Backdraft Conform-related processes:

  1. In a shell, type kc.

To verify that all Backdraft Conform-related processes have been killed:

  1. Type ps -fu <conform 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 Backdraft Conform processes have been successfully killed, this command should return no results.

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