  • finding and Killing processes by cPanel

    CPanel WHM (Web Host Manager) is an intuitive interface that allows you to manage your Web hosting server with a series of mouse clicks. When you or your hosting customers run complex scripts on your server, a situation may arise when you need to stop, or kill, a process from running in order to prevent a server crash. You can either stop all processes that a certain user is running, or you can stop a specific process that you select from a list of processes that are running on your server.

    Instructions
    1
    Type your server IP address followed by a colon (:) and 2087 or follow your hosting server company or co-location center's directions for accessing your CPanel. Enter your administrator user name and password in the text fields when the CPanel log in screen appears.

    2
    Click on the "System Health" icon on the CPanel WHM homepage; if you do not see the icon on your home screen, then locate "System Health" on the left sidebar menu and click on it.


    3
    Click on "Process Manager" and wait for the list of processes to appear.

    4
    Kill all of a user's processes by selecting the user name from the "Kill All Processes By User" drop-down menu located above the list of processes.

    5
    Check the list of processes to see which processes are running and which processes might be using an inordinate amount of CPU resources or memory; the percentage of each used is listed in the "CPU" and "Memory" column for each process.

    6
    Kill any individual processes by clicking on the "Kill" prompt next to its PID number (Process Identification Number).

    7
    Click on the "Back" prompt that appears after the message "Killed (PID number)" to return to the list of processes. Kill additional processes as necessary.

    8
    Test your server to make sure it is in proper running order. Restart your server if necessary
