If you do that then you'll need to kill all the process ids, not just one. You could also try killall V3Uploader.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63015-how-to-close-applications-in-linux/#findComment-314842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 One thing: Processes != files. Killing the processes will not remove the files. To remove the files you want, try running this: # rm V3Uploader.php.* Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63015-how-to-close-applications-in-linux/#findComment-314959 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 The question needs to be asked. What is causing the script to never end in the first place? Can we see this V3Uploader.php?

pixeltrace Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 hi, V3Uploader.php is setup in cron to execute the php page every 12am and i used wget to run the php page. below is the code for the v3uploader.php <?php include 'db_connect.php'; $uSql = "SELECT * FROM jos_findit"; $uResult = mysql_query($uSql, $connection); if(!$uResult){ echo 'no data found'; }else{ while($uRow = mysql_fetch_array($uResult)){ $client = new SoapClient("http://203.125.7.42/mapguide/phpviewersample/V3UploaderWebService.wsdl",array("trace"=>1)); try { $input=array('BuildingName'=>$uRow['TradeName'],'TradeBranch'=>$uRow['TradeBranch'],'TradeCode'=>$uRow['TradeCode'],'PostalCode'=>$uRow['PostalCode'],'CRUD'=>$uRow['CRUD']); $result= $client->getUpdateResult($input); $res = $result->getUpdateStatusReturns; echo $res->updateStatus ."<BR><BR>"; echo "Request Header : "; print htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequest()) . "\n<br><br>"; echo "Response Header : "; print htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastResponse()) . "\n"; } catch (SoapFault $exception) { echo $exception; } } } ?> also, is there any code that i can add in this php page so that after running the page, it will automatically close it? so in the future, i wont encounter the same issue on kill anymore. hope you could help me with this. thanks!

Daniel0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 You could try to put exit() or die() at the end, but I don't see why it doesn't stop by it self.

neylitalo Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 ps -ef|grep V3Uploader.php.37 and i got the process id from the second column root 23193 23146 0 22:32 pts/0 00:00:00 grep V3Uploader.php.37 i type kill 23193 but its telling me: no such process. That's because pid 23193 is the ID of the grep you ran on the output. Notice how it says "grep V3Uploader.php.37"? That's the grep you ran, not the application itself. If you do "ps ax | grep V3Uploader.php", and don't get any lines back other than the one for grep, then it's not running. And wget does automatically stop execution after a successful or failed fetch, so I suspect you might want to start looking elsewhere for the cause of your server's illness.
