Processes on a 6200f switch stack

    Probably a long-shot question, but . . . is there any way to restart a specific process on a 6200f?  We have had processes, apparently connected to PoE, suddenly go to 100% cpu as indicated by top cpu.  If possible we would rather restart individual processes than reboot the whole stack.

    AOS-CX uses Systemd, so you can enter Bash shell using 'start-shell' command and use 'systemctl' command to start, stop or restart processes. Also 'kill' command is available to you as in any *nix.

    Thanks for the info . . . when I tried this on an off-line 6100, I got to the "kill ####" command, but the response was "Operation not permitted."  Maybe this is because the process is running as root, and the admin username doesn't have root privileges?

    Thanks,

    Exactly, the 'admin' user is just a user. Use 'sudo kill ####' and it will work. Or just type 'sudo su -' as soon as you enter the Bash shell and then all your commands will be executed with root privileges.
