I will try this. Thank you!

Your advice is spot on. Thank you so much.<br />

So now after I run adstpall.sh I have three loops that check if there are still processes running. If there are I try to terminate the processes.<br />
1st loop uses SIGHUP kill -1, the nicest way to terminate a process <br />
2nd loop uses SIGTERM kill -15, the second nicest way to terminate a process<br />
3rd loop uses SIGKILL kill -9, the MEANEST way to terminate a process. So far my testing has not had to use SIGKILL.
</div>


<div>
During shutdown kill -15 is used on all processes and if there are still running processes after a short while then kill -9 will be run.<br />
So applications do need to handle this anyway or just die...

How long should you wait for Oracle WebLogic to shutdown before killing processes?<br />
I'm writing a shutdown script (linux bash) for developers to use and sometimes I get a few processes that still remain, so I kill them after 10 minutes. &nbsp;I was wondering if 10 minutes is sufficient, too long, or too short?<br />

Sometimes the processes remaining are FND, PALIBR, java, fatal.err, and RCVOLTM

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
