request system process terminate
Syntax
request system process terminate process-id
Description
Terminate any process that you specify with the
process identification number (process ID or pid). The request
system process terminate command is an alternative to using
the restart command.
The restart command terminates and restarts a process that
you specify by process name, but limits you to only certain well-known
processes.
Caution: Never terminate a software process unless instructed to do so by a customer support engineer. Restarting processes could cause unknown system behavior resulting in partial or complete traffic loss.
Use the show system processes command to display a list of processes by process ID.
Options
| process-id | Identification number for a process.

Required Privilege Level

Output Fields
When you enter this command, you are not provided
feedback on the status of your request. You can use the show
system processes extensive command to confirm the process that
was terminated.
