CPanel Web host management software provides an intuitive interface for managing a website server. When running complex scripts on the server, you may occasionally need to stop a process from running to prevent a server crash. You can either stop all processes that a certain user is running, or you can stop a specific process by selecting it from a list of live processes.
Step 1
Type he server IP address followed by a colon and 2087 or follow your hosting server company or co-location center’s directions for accessing CPanel. Enter the administrator user name and password in the text fields when the CPanel login screen appears.
Step 2
Click System Health on the CPanel WHM home page; if you do not see the icon on your home screen, then locate System Health on the left sidebar menu.
Step 3
Click Process Manager and wait for the list of processes to appear.
Step 4
Kill all user processes by selecting the name from the Kill All Processes By User drop-down menu.
Step 5
Check the list of processes to see which processes might be using an inordinate amount of CPU resources or memory; the percentage of each is listed in the CPU and Memory columns for each process.
Step 6
Kill any individual processes by clicking the Kill prompt next to its process identification or PID number.
Step 7
Click the Back prompt that appears after the message “Killed (PID number)” to return to the list of processes. Kill additional processes as necessary.
Step 8
Test your server to make sure it works correctly. Restart the server if necessary.
