pid in onstat -g ses

IDS 9.40.FC3 AIX 5.2 I have one application that always shows up with a pid of -1 in onstat -g ses. It is an EDI application from Inovis. These are all tcp/ip connections to the server. Does anyone know exactly how the server determines the pid if the process is started from another machine? Is it passed in the connection request from the client? If so, is there some way to reject connections if the pid is not specified? This has become a problem because this EDI application is a real resource hog. I had a session today that was up to 760MB of memory and I didn't know which process to kill on the client machine. I finally had to kill every process associated with the application.

If the pid can't be determined then it will be set to -1. What you should be able to do is relate the onstat -g ntt to the ps -ef on the client machine (it's not 100% accurate but should be close enough). If the client host doesn't resolve then the ip will be displayed in the onstat -i instead, it's in hex Bill Dare wrote: > > IDS 9.40.FC3 AIX 5.2 > I have one application that always shows up with a pid of -1 in onstat -g > ses.
