Shutting down a stalled giomgr process on UNIX or Linux

If a giomgr process is hung or stalled, use the operating system commands to determine the ID of the hung process, then kill it.

Steps:

1. Identify the process ID (PID) of the stalled ArcSDE service or giomgr process using the ps -ef command that was piped through grep to isolate the giomgr process.

   ps –ef | grep giomgr
   arcsde 3403 1 0 06:00:03 ? 0:03
   /prod/sdeexe/bin/giomgr /prod/sdeexe
   

2. Type the kill command. Include the PID to terminate the giomgr process.

   kill –9 3403
