What is the best way to kill a server task on McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 5.9 that is not terminating?
Other server tasks are not running as scheduled and the ePO system performance over all is very slow.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yea, that's what I was afraid of. That is why tomcat has to stop on its own. Let me send you a script in chat.

Try this - stop all epo services, do NOT kill the tomcat process - let it stop on its own, no matter how long it takes. Then once stopped, restart it and see if it is terminated.

Hello @cdinet ,
Thank you for your advice.
How long would you expect it to take, until the tomcat process has stopped on its own.
Is there any way to speed this up?
It should have stopped on its own by now. No way to speed it up. It is closing out transactions in the backend, so depending on what it is doing, it takes a little time.

It hasn't stopped yet.
Is there any way of "seeing" what it is doing to estimate how much longer it will take?
I couldn't see anything in the server's log files to give me a clue.
No, there is no way that I know of. Be sure to refresh the services window. Is the tomcat7 process still running?

Yes, it is still running.
With 0% CPU and 1144.4MB of RAM (the server has plenty of memory still available).
The tomcat process has over 130 connection open on port 1433 to the database server.
Only one of them seems to occasionally send/receive data.
Ok, go ahead and kill it then. Once service is restarted, check to see if it is still in progress. If it is, let me know.

The task gets restarted. It shows "In Progress" again.
14/01/21 20:12:04 Failed: Task will be restarted due to server failure.
14/01/21 20:12:35 Started: Purge Server Task Log
