Killing a hung arsload process on MP 9.5 on AIX 7.2

[tjspencer2]

So I have a file that is not loading via wrapper script (.ksh) that is calling arsload.

My load syntax is "...bin/arsload -vf -c /arstmp -B IGN.IGN.APP.AG.IGN.IGN.EXT /arsacif/acif1/...filename.pdf"

I want to gracefully kill the arsload program's trying to load a file without jacking up the platform.

Should I just execute the Kill PID to kill the wrapper script?

It's a 1.4MB file that has been hung up for 36 hours :(

So I just killed the PID for the hung wrapper script process, and everything stopped just fine. 

My input file was a file of PDF statements that were corrupt and couldn't be read.

Never a good idea to try and load those :)

in 10+ years I've never had any issues just doing a kill -9 on a load process.. then i'll do my troubleshooting, and fire it up again :)
