How to Move a Running Process Into a New Task

This example shows how to associate a running process with a different task and new project.

To perform this action, you must either be superuser, or be the owner of the process and be a

member of the new project.

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role

2. Obtain the process ID of thebook_catalogprocess.

# pgrep book_catalog

8100

3. Associate process8100with a new task ID in thebooksiteproject.

# newtask -v -p booksite -c 8100

17

The -coption specifies that newtaskoperate on the existing named process.

4. Confirm the task to process ID mapping.

# pgrep -T 17

8100

Incorrect:

Not C: projmod does not change the processes of a project.

The projmod utility modifies a project's definition on the system. projmod changes the definition of the specified project and makes the appropriate project-related system file and file system changes.
