General :: Automatically Kill Processes That Over Time Uses 95%+ Of Resources?
May 3, 2010
I don't know about your computer but when mine is working properly no process is sucking 95%+ over time. I would like to have some failsafe that kills any processes behaving like that. This comes to mind because when I woke up this morning my laptop had been crunching all night long on a stray chromium child process.
This can probably be done as a cron job, but before I make it a full time job creating something like this I'd thought I should check here. :) I hate reinventing the wheel.

I have configured heartbeat and pacemaker with 2 nodes, all resources work well, all resources stars when some of them is down, when the host is down, pacemaker moves all resources to the other one, my configuration:
[code]...
i have the directive " resource-stickiness="INFINITY", when node1 is down, the node2 starts all resources and prevent failback again though the node1 is up, back i need move all resources to the first one when I certainly sure the node1 is runnig, is there some directive to tell pacemaker that move back again the to node1 automatically? i mean, is posibble to move back resources to node1 when It has passed certain time, maybe 1 hour or something?

if i do a
ps aux | grep ftp
that would show me at least any active ftp connects started with the ftp command, right? Is there then a way to use that to somehow kill any stuck sessions that are older than an hour?

I am developing a daemon that is acting up and I am now unable to create any new processes (ie. I cannot start a new process to kill the other rogue processes). So, I need to be able to kill the processes from a remote machine. How do I do "kill" remotely without admin privileges? If I cannot kill my own process from a remote machine as a normal user then tell me so I can mark it as the correct answer.

I've run into what is apparently an age-old SSH problem, which is that killing an ssh client process does not kill the remote process (unlike e.g. rsh). There seem to be lots of patches and a couple of open bugs on this topic that have been there for about 10 years or so... Having convinced myself by googling that there is no easy solution, I'm now looking for a workaround of some sort. I'm writing a testing framework so the processes I'm running remotely could be anything at all, i.e. I only have control of the client side. Also the remote processes are of course highly unstable and I need to be able to terminate them if they hang. ssh -t won't work for me as I don't necessarily have a terminal. Finding the remote process ID would be enough so I can do ssh <machine> kill <pid>, but I don't see any way to do that either. Just using ps, pgrep etc seems to suffer from not being able to uniquely identify the correct process, and killing the wrong process is of course very bad.

All the kill idle user processes scripts I've seen don't take into account that the user might have multiple sessions open. Such is the case with one of our clients. Currently, every hour or two I need to do the following:
This will get the TTY and idle time for all users.
For each idle time over a half hour, I do the following (TTY is the TTY from the previous command with a space.
I then kill those processes.
There must be a way to do this automatically in a bash or perl script. I've tried both, but can't seem to get things to work properly.

I'm attempting to use 'killall' to kill all mysql processes, however after using the command mysql processes are still alive. 'killall mysql' says no processes were killed, and while 'killall mysql_safe' gives no message there are still mysql processes alive afterwards.
Code:
# killall mysql
mysql: no process killed
# killall mysqld_safe
[code].....

I thought 'killall' would work, but I need to provide the "command" to kill. I'm really looking for a command that will kill all processes that have a particular file/directory open. Currently, my script fails on an 'umount' because there are several processes that have this filesystem open. The command 'lsof' is a good tool to determine which processes have a filesystem open, but I don't really want to write a script that parses through the 'lsof' output to capture PSIDs. Is there a linux command that can kill all processes that may have a particular filesystem open?

I have an issue on one of my servers whereby the [normally very helpful] du and tar programs are somehow using up too much or my system resources (du 40% mem, tar 20% mem) and causing problems. I am after a command which is able to kill a process without knowledge of a PID but by process name e.g. "du" and memory usage e.g. >= 10%.
Something along the lines of:
kill $(pgrep du) grep %MEM > 10
Although I know that is invalid syntax I cannot fathom the correct/best way to achieve this end!

how to even start this Perl script. I have the following processes:
Command used to get this info:
ps aux --forest | grep -e process_name -e ksh | awk '{if ($1 == "user1" && $1 != "root" && $1 != "UID" && $1 != "xfs" && $1 != "mfg" && $1 != "mfgnet") print $0}'
Processes
user1 2819 0.0 0.0 4272 612 ? S Nov17 0:00 \_ -pksh-ksh
user1 2820 0.0 0.0 64956 1584 pts/833 Ss+ Nov17 0:00 \_ -ksh
[code]....
I need a way to kill off the pids 2819, 2820 because they do not have a process tied to them like pids 2918, 2922 and 6657. The way it works is peek shell (pid 2918)is opened then it starts a ksh (pid 2922) session then from there the end user runs a command (pid 6657).

I'm trying to avoid kill -9 for the reasons described in the Useless Use of Kill -9 form letter. Is this function sufficient, or do I need to kill the kill processes after a timeout or take care of other subtleties?
soft_kill()
{
# Try to avoid forcing a kill
# @param $1: PID
kill $1 || kill -INT $1 || kill -HUP $1 ||
(echo "Could not kill $1" >&2; kill -KILL $1)
}
As an aside, what's a better name for this function? The current name reminds me of "Killing Me Softly", and manslaughter sounds a bit severe. Maybe spoon_kill (Google it)?

I'm working with Eclipse and it's starting to misbehave now and then which completely freezes my computer. Is there any emergency command to kill such a misbehaving process so I don't have to reboot my computer?
I already have a emergency xkill icon in my taskbar and a [Ctrl]+[F1] console with "> sudo killall eclipse" pretyped(!) but sometimes it's even to late for this. What I would need is a emergency command/console that gets a guaranteed amount of process time so I can kill these process.

User 1 and User 2 each start a mono process with sudo:
"sudo mono user1.exe" "sudo mono user2.exe"
Each user has a kill.sh in their directory, which is being called by user1.exe/user2.exe to kill the process.
The script itself is
ps aux | grep 'mono user1.exe' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill
which in theory should pull *only* the PID of "mono user1.exe" and kill only that. The problem: It kills any and every single instance of mono that is running on my system, every userx.exe thats open. I am confused, as a simple "ps aux | grep 'mono user1.exe'" does only return the mono user1.exe process and not the others. "ps aux | grep 'mono'" returns them all though. how I can modify that script so that it only kills the specific process? Would "pkill -9 -f 'mono MCuser1.exe'" work as well - or would it too kill every instance of mono? I cant do a lot more of trial and error, its not good I am killing those instances accidently...

I want to limit the time a grep process command is allowed to run or be alive.For example.

I've got the following problem:
1. I start two bash windows
2. In one of them I start a script test1:
Code:
This script puts a natural number 5 times a second.
3. Then in the second bash window I type (as root):
Code:
The script test2 looks as follows:
Code:
While true; do
true;
done
During the following 15 seconds test2 is the process with the highest real-time priority. As far as I know the script doesn't perform any system calls so it shouldn't be suspended even for a minimal timeslice. My question is: why the process test1 manages to put a few numbers on the screen before test2 stops. I thought that test2 would exclusivly own the processor for 15 seconds.

I am using kvkbd as an onscreen keyboard and I have it set to start on the login screen but after I login I want the keyboard to close and I can not get this to work. At the bottom of /etc/gdm/Init/DefaultI added the line.Code:exec kvkbd&This works great and kvkbd starts up and even puts a panel icon at the bottom of the login screen but after the login the keyboard is still there?I have tried making a launcher and adding it to the startup applications. I wrote a script and put it in the /usr/sbin and /usr/bin and also added a line at the bottom of my /etc/rc.local that should have run that same script to kill kvkbd and nothing. The really weird thing is that the launcher that I made would work if I double clicked on it but if i had it set to run as a startup application it would not work.
