how to kill a process on cisco router?

[admin_2]

Hi

When I use "show proc cpu",I can get a PID of a process.

But how can I kill the process?

As far as I know, there is no command in the Cisco IOS to kill a Process. Hence I would say, its not possible to kill a process on a cisco router.

If you are on IOS XE device you might be able to try the below command. You may need to try different "locations".

"request platform software process terminate r0 69 kill"
