fw kill

Description

Kills the specified Check Point processes.

Important - Make sure the killed process is restarted, or restart it manually. See sk97638.

Syntax

fw [-d] kill [-t <Signal Number>] <Name of Process>

Parameters

Parameter

Description

-d

Runs the command in debug mode.

Use only if you troubleshoot the command itself.

Best Practice - If you use this parameter, then redirect the output to a file, or use the script command to save the entire CLI session.

-t <Signal Number>

Specifies which signal to send to the Check Point process.

For the list of available signals and their numbers, run the kill -l command.

For information about the signals, see the manual pages for the kill and signal.

If you do not specify the signal explicitly, the command sends Signal 15 (SIGTERM).

Note - Processes can ignore some signals.

<Name of Process>

Specifies the name of the Check Point process to kill.

To see the names of the processes, run the ps auxwf command.
