Hi there, I understand you're seeing crashes on AIX when terminating a program you added into the kernel; I have hands‑on AIX kernel debugging experience and can reproduce and trace panics using native AIX tools. - Reproduce crash with kdb/dbx/trace and capture kernel stack, panic log, and memory image - Identify offending kernel module code-path, apply targeted patch or safe unload procedure and validate with stress/termination tests - (Optional) Provide a minimal kernel hardening checklist and patch suggestions if root cause is race/locking - Risk control: backup checkpoint, staged deployment and post-fix validation to ensure minimal downtime Skills: ✅ AIX kernel ✅ kdb / trace / dbx ✅ kernel debugging & crash analysis ✅ system restore / staged deployment ✅ reliability hardening & post-deploy testing Certificates: ✅ Microsoft® Certified: MCSA | MCSE | MCT ✅ cPanel® & WHM Certified CWSA-2 I am available to start immediately. Which AIX version and TL are you running, and can you provide panic logs plus the kernel module binary and debug symbols for analysis? Best regards,

Hi, this is Osama. I understand that you need an AIX kernel specialist to debug system crashes that happen when a program added to the kernel is terminated. The key point here is to isolate the kernel-level fault, identify the termination path that triggers the crash, and stabilize the system without unnecessary changes. I have experience with UNIX/Linux troubleshooting, system administration, and low-level debugging. For this project, I would first review the current kernel changes, crash logs, and any available core dumps or dump analysis data, then trace the failure path around program termination, reproduce the issue if possible, and validate the fix carefully before delivery. My approach would be: • Review the current requirements, existing structure, and main technical issues. • Prepare a clear implementation plan before starting development. • Build or improve the core features step by step with clean and maintainable code. • Test the important user flows, fix bugs, and make sure everything works smoothly. • Provide clear updates during development and deliver the final work with a proper explanation. One question: do you already have crash dumps, error logs, or a reproducible test case from the failing termination flow? I can start anytime and work full-time. I look forward to working with you. Regards, Osama
