ABORTPROC

The ABORTPROC command aborts the speciﬁed process(es). This command requires OP

or SM capability.

Syntax

ABORTPROC [ [PIN=]{pinspec }]

{(pinspec [,pinspec ]...)}

[;SYSTEM]

Parameters

pinspec The process(es) to abort. This is a required parameter. The syntax for

pinspec is:

[#P]pin[.tid]

where PIN is the Process ID number and TID is an optional thread ID

number. A leading "#P" is optional.

To abort more than one process, a list of PINSPECs can be speciﬁed. The

list is enclosed in parenthesis and individual PINSPECs are separated by

commas. If a list is speciﬁed it is processed in order, from left to right.

ABORTPROC stops processing the list if an error is detected. Duplicate

PINs are not detected.

Although a PIN value of zero has meaning in the SHOWPROC and

ALTPROC commands, it is invalid in ABORTPROC. To kill yourself use

the HPPIN variable, e.g., ABORTPROC !hppin

Aborting detached system processes requires SM capability as well as

specifying the SYSTEM option.

SYSTEM The SYSTEM option is necessary if the target process is a detached system

process. SM capability is required to use the SYSTEM option.

MPE/iX supports 8 process types (shown below). Every process has a

process type. Processes with a process type greater than or equal to four

(4) are considered system processes. System processes are not abortable

unless they have a process type of six (6), indicating they are "detached".
