Killing all sleeping processes

Hi All,
When I run sp_who2, I see there are many sleeping processes. Instead of
killing one by one, I was wondering if there is any way to kill all
sleeping processes programmatically (MS SQL Server 2000).
Thanks a million in advance.
Best regards,
mamunHi,
It is possible to do. But Killing the sleeping user process may not be a
good idea. A user processes
may be running for 40 minutes and when you check that process may be
sleeping and you code will kill that
process.
I recommend you to, not to automate this process in production server.
Script:-
use master
go
declare @.x varchar(1000)
set @.x=''
select @.x = @.x + 'Kill' + convert(varchar(5), spid)
from master.dbo.sysprocesses where status='Sleeping'
exec (@.x)
Schedule the script thru SQL Agent jobs. THe above script can take care of 1
user kill . If you have mutiple user, you have to slightly modify the script
Thanks

issue for the developer to resolve by managing the connection pool. If the
connections are created by people logging into Query Analyzer or Enterprise
Manager, then it's an issue for the DBA to resolve by perhaps restricting
logins and permissions.
