Send a Signal to a Process

To send a signal to a process, issue an SNMP Set command for the processKill column for a specific process to the appropriate signal value.

Note: On Windows, only signal number SIGKILL (9) is supported.

For example, from a remote network management station console, you can terminate an unauthorized process by setting the value of its processKill column to 9. The number 9 represents the UNIX SIGKILL signal, which can kill a process.

For more information about signals, see the UNIX signal (3V) man page.
