Alternatively, the process can additionally be blocked. If the previous method failed to kill the process or \u201czombie\u201d- process still remained in the system, do the following (in my case server responds with just process PID: 9571):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# cat \/var\/run\/yum.pid<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can see that there is another process with PID 9571. Let`s try to find out \u201cwho\u201d it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#ps -ef | grep 9571<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
