Managing System Processes on Linux Hosting Accounts
On Linux® hosting accounts, you can view and end certain types of connections to your account. You can use this to manage runaway scripts or get your account's PHP initialization file to take effect.
To Manage Your System Processes
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Click Web Hosting.
Click one of the following, based on the type of hosting you have. You can tell this by the second word in your hosting's description beneath your hosting account's domain name, e.g. Deluxe Web correlates to Web/Classic (Hosting Control Panel).
Web/Classic (Hosting Control Panel)
- Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Manage.
- In the Stats & Monitors section, click System Processes.
- In the list on the left, click the process you want to view or click All Processes to view all processes at once.
- To end a process, click the corresponding end button on the toolbar.
Ending a process kills all current connections to the process. Any users connected to the process will have to reconnect.
Linux (cPanel)
You can only manage the PHP process on cPanel shared hosting accounts, which is similar to the Web process on Web Hosting accounts.
- Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Manage.
- In the Software/Services section, click PHP Processes.
- Select the processes you want to manage, and then click Kill Processes.
