Killing All Smoke-Related Processes
 
 
 

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

To kill all Smoke-related processes:

  1. In a shell, type ks.

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

  1. Type ps -fu <smoke 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 Smoke processes have been successfully killed, this command should return no results.

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