AIX 5.1 - How to kill process that is stuck <exiting>?
ibm1:/ # ps -ef | grep 5423240
- 5423240 - - - <exiting>
I tried killing a process. Instead of being killed the process is now stuck exiting. How can I get rid of this process?

I tried with 9 first. That's how I normally kill. Not sure why that's just how I was taught. Anyway after that did not work I tried without the 9. Still did not work. Any other suggestions?
