Thanks , I have used Shell commands which works.

But this software runs only on weekends and its not installed on server. So i have tried to use Perl script below,

kill -9 ps -ef | grep '<<ProcessName>>' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'

I get error when this recovery script runs,

kill: (<<PID>>) - Operation not permitted

Same command works when i run from server.

This error occurs when the user doesn’t have the permissions required to perform a command, make sure your Linux monitoring/action account has sufficient permissions.
You can try running the command with sudo.

Depending on what Linux distribution you are running, the sudo might not be installed.

First enable su-mode:

 su -

Install sudo by running:

 apt-get install sudo -y
