I believe you can cancel that process from WHM.
Under System Health:
Show Current CPU Usage
Then click on the PID and then click on "Kill Process"

In ssh you can:
killall -9 theme.php

Or- if you can figure out the pids (buy ps or top)
kill -9 pid number

Being as VIM can only be run/used from SHELL, of what good is it to turn it off? Unless you disable their SHELL access, or teach how them how to turn it off and make sure they always do, you will run into this problem over 'n over.

To kill it you must first find the process number, run: ps -xla

Then look (on the far right) for 'vim theme.php'
Now start on the left and count 4 columns over. There you will see the process number and you can do a kill -9.

kill -9 psnumber >> Enter

Must be a bug in WHM,
I ran this from SSH ps -xla it does not show that process vim theme.php anywhere on the list but yet when I go to Whm here

Server Status-CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage it still shows that process.

As VIM can only be run from within SHELL (AFAIK) then I would dis-regard what WHM and go by what TOP says. Even in TOP (if it is showing) there should be a process number somewhere in the first column for VIM -- but not always, which is why one uses ps -xla -- which gives you a starting place for a process number.

And if it doesn't show a VIM process (using ps -xla) plus your TOP doesn't show it and your Server CPU states are just fine (i.e., CPU idle is 90% or better), then I wouldn't worry.

What would cron be for this ?



Want to run this every hour

*/58 * * * path/to/vim killall -9 vim

is that correct?
