Using the Virtuozzo Power Panel, you can also manage the System Processes in your different VPS. A Virtual Private Server or VPS in Virtuozzo is realized by running a single kernel of the OS and exporting it to functional partitions on the OS layer. Doing this can be a bit tedious for your host computer but using the Power Panel you can monitor your System Processes and take immediate action.
The instructions below will show you how to manage your system processes in power panel:
1. To begin, you must first log in to your Virtuozzo Power Panel account.
2. Then click the System Processes link at the side of the window.
3. You will then be directed to the System Processes page where you will be able to manage specific processes that are running in your Virtual Private Server.
4. To see the different processes, scroll down the window.
5. As you can see, there is a list of all the processes that are currently running in your VPS displayed. There are several commands that you can send to some or all of these processes.
6. You can select a process that you want to send a signal to by clicking at the small white box aligned to the left of the desired process.
7. A Drop-down list will then display from which you can pick the signals you want to send.
8. Then you can select the signal that you want to send by clicking the specific signal from the drop down menu at the upper left portion of the window
9. The SIGHUP is a hang up signal which is often used to ask a daemon process to re-read its configuration.
10. The SIGTERM sends a termination signal to the process; SIGCONT causes the process to resume and continue.
12. SIGSTOP stops/suspends the process but it will still be listed on the task list and SIGINT causes the process to immediately interrupt.
13. Lastly SIGKILL immediately kills the process which removes any chance for a tidy cleanup and might have unconditional consequences.
14. Then click the Send Signal button.
15. You have successfully sent a signal to the different processes in your VPS.
16. Then click the Top link at the upper portion of the window to return to the main screen.
17. Keep in mind that you have to be extra careful when sending signals to the different processes in your VPS systems as some signals may cause unexpected consequences. Only send signals to specific processes only when you understand exactly what you are doing and the different outcomes that it may have.
