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?

Hi,

Have you tried only Kill or with -9?

Try this following command,

#kill -9 5423240

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?
