As an example, try to kill PID 3788: FADC# diagnose sys top Mem: 6471716K used, 1502144K free, 4303094K shrd, 446376K buff, 3140776K cached CPU: 28.5% usr 33.3% sys 0.0% nic 38.0% idle 0.0% io 0.0% irq 0.0% sirq Load average: 1.19 1.24 1.20 4/300 11194 PID PPID USER STAT VSZ %VSZ CPU %CPU COMMAND 3788 1 root R 685m 8.8 1 47.5 httproxy -f /tmp/vs/root/VS_simit_fcm_org_co.0.httproxy.cfg    <----  This one. 2840 2576 root R 68988 0.8 0 9.5 keepalived: checker 8808 2 root IW 0 0.0 1 4.7 [kworker/1:1] 2453 1 root S 1633m 20.9 0 0.0 /bin/mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking --user=root 2468 1 root S 1460m 18.7 0 0.0 /bin/restapi 1 2469 1 root S 1439m 18.4 1 0.0 /bin/restapi 2 Enable the shell mode in the FortiADC setting. As an example, user 'ert' and password 12345: config system global     set shell-access enable     set shell-username ert     set shell-password 12345     set shell-timeout 200 end Then, access as below: ssh ert@x.x.x.x <----- Where x.x.x. is the IP address of the FortiADC. Validate the access in shell mode as below: ~# whoami ert To kill such process, apply the below command in shell mode: #kill 3788 If any process still causes issues after killing, open a TAC ticket.
