Process and Memory Management Commands on Cisco IOS-XR Software process process To start, terminate, or restart a process, use the process command in EXEC mode. process {blocked | kill | restart | start} [executable-name | job-id] [location {node-id | all}] Syntax Description blocked Collects debug information. The node will be restarted if the mandatory reboot flag is set. kill Kills (stops) a process. The process will not be restarted even if considered “mandatory”. restart Restarts a process.
Process and Memory Management Commands on Cisco IOS-XR Software process process kill The process kill command will shut down (terminate) the specified process and copies associated with the specified process. The process is not restarted, even if considered “mandatory.” Use the show processes command to display a list of executable processes running on the system. Caution Killing a process can result in an RP failover, system failure or both.
Process and Memory Management Commands on Cisco IOS-XR Software process core process core To change the core dump options for a process, use the process core command in EXEC mode. process {executable-name | job-id} core {mainmem | mainmem-sharedmem | mainmem-text | mainmem-text-sharedmem | sharedmem | copy | off} [maxcore value] [location node-id] Syntax Description executable-name Executable name of the process for which you want to change core dump options.
Process and Memory Management Commands on Cisco IOS-XR Software process core Specifying the process name (executable-name) changes the core dumping option for all instances of the process. Specifying a job-id value changes the core dumping option for a single instance of a running process.
Process and Memory Management Commands on Cisco IOS-XR Software process mandatory process mandatory To set the mandatory reboot options for a process, use the process mandatory command in EXEC mode.
Process and Memory Management Commands on Cisco IOS-XR Software process mandatory • Examples If the process is not mandatory and cannot be restarted, it will stay down and the node will not reboot.
Process and Memory Management Commands on Cisco IOS-XR Software show memory show memory To display the available physical memory on the networking device and the memory usage of processes on the networking device, use the show memory command in EXEC mode. show memory [job-id | location node-id | summary] Syntax Descriptionl job-id (Optional) Displays the memory available and memory usage information for only the process associated with this job identifier.
