	FAQ's - APPX Software, Inc. : APPX Utility : APPX System Administration : How can I determine which APPX.EXE processes on my server are orphans?
	"View Registration usage" within the System Administration Registration editor, in APPX versions 4.0.a and higher, will let you view PID (Process ID) by User. Once you have identified which processes on the server are orphans, you can kill the using the standard mechanisms described earlier.
	Bruce Johnston Jan 14, '04: For those of you that run WinAPPXD or the new APPXDSVC under multiple ports there's a nice (free AFAIK) utility that I've come across called prcview.exe at http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm With it you can learn a number of things about what's going on on your server and one of the nice ones is a view that shows you a process tree. This means that you can see which appx PIDs are running under which instance of WinAPPXD/APPXDSVC especially if you're running under the copies of the exe whose names reflect the port being serviced. I'd often see a number of APPX sessions in the task manager but nothing under the USAGE log. It turns out that they were all running under another port which only serviced the appx-in-a-browser connection and tha the users were exiting the browser window without shutting down appx.

Previous:	The command-line "kill" too time-consuming and error-prone. Is there a better alternative?
Next:	All of my users except for one have gone home for the night, and I am sure they have turned off their PC's. I still see three (or four, or ten) APPX.EXE processes in the server's task list. Why are they there?
