What is the best way to resolve an issue caused by a frozen process?
A. Power off the machine
B. Restart the process
C. Reboot the machine
D. Kill the process
Answer: D
Explanation:
When a process is frozen (hung or unresponsive), the typical method to resolve it is to kill the process. On Check Point, you can use cpwd_admin kill -name <ProcessName> or a standard Linux kill -9 <PID> command if necessary. You then allow CPWD (the Check Point watchdog) to restart it, or manually restart it if needed.
Other options:
A. Power off the machine: This is too drastic and not recommended just for a single frozen process.
B. Restart the process: While this sounds viable, you typically must kill the frozen process first, then let WatchDog or an admin restart it.
C. Reboot the machine: Similar to powering off―too disruptive for just one stuck process.
Hence, the most direct and standard approach:
“Kill the process.”
