[systemd-devel] How do I remove dead process managed by Systemd?

[Yun-Chih Chen]

Hi, fellows:

How do I remove a dead process (D-state process) wrapped as a Systemd
service unit?  The process's parent is systemd (pid=1) and I still did not
find a way to remove such process without rebooting.  I have tried the
following:

$ systemctl restart <my_service>  # timeout
$ systemctl daemon-reexec
$ kill -9 <pid of my process> # won't work of course

Or anyone knows of hacks that do the trick?

Thanks in advance!
