On wilndows I use a dos utility set called pstools.  It allows killing
99% of tasks that are unkillable.  It also has a few other utils that I
use once in a while but the main one I use is the pskill util.  It can
kill on local machine and remote machhines as long as they are windows
machines.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU Device Manager Wont Start


All
A Robotic Library was rebooted, which is shared with a Master and 10
Media Servers.
Master Server (Win2k3 NBU 5.1 MP4) was also rebooted

Although all Media Servers are online, one server and its service
(device
manager) refuses to start stating in the logs "Another ltid daemon is
already running"

Cannot find anything on the web that references this for Windows. 

I recall in the old days of 3.4, you could KILL processes within the NBU
Admin Console. Cannot seem to do this in 5.1, but I do see them listed.

I have rebooted the server, used task manager and it will not die !!

Any ideas?
Thanks

Regards
