dkill

Terminates execution of processes

Format: 

dkill [ -remove ]

Arguments: 

-remove

Removes all knowledge of the process from its internal tables. If you are using TotalView Team, this frees a token so that you can reuse it.

Description: 

The dkill command terminates all processes in the current focus.

Because the executables associated with the defined processes are still loaded, using the drun command restarts the processes.

The dkill command alters program state by terminating all processes in the affected set. In addition, TotalView destroys any spawned processes when the process that created them is killed. The drun command can restart only the initial process.

If you do not indicate a focus, the default focus is the process of interest (POI). If, however, you kill the primary process for a control group, all of the slave processes are killed.
