General :: Can't Find ./prog.sh Start - Unable To Kill Manually Using Command

Nov 3, 2010

I'm trying to figure out how to operate a rather large Java program, 'prog'. If I go to its /bin/ dir and configure its setenv.sh and prog.sh to use local directories and my current user account. Then I try to run it via "./prog.sh start". Here are all the relevant bits of prog.sh:

[code]...

When I actually do ./prog.sh start, it starts. But I can't find it at all on the process list. Nor can I kill it manually, using the same command the shell script uses. But I can tell it's running, because if I do ./prog.sh stop, it stops (and some temporary files elsewhere clean themselves out).

[code]...

the process is running yet not in any way listed by the system. I can't find it in ps or /proc/, nor can I kill it. But the shell script can still stop it properly. So my question is, how can something like this happen? Is the process supremely hidden, actually unlisted, or am I just missing it in some fashion? I'm trying to figure out what makes this program tick.

Ubuntu :: Emergency Command To Kill Processes?

Jun 15, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Kill Copy File Command?

Jun 6, 2011

I started to copy a directory using Nautilus. I dragged and dropped a directory from my hosted server to my home drive. It got hung up, and wouldn't download. I clicked the red "stop operation" button, but I have a lingering icon in my upper panel saying that I still have file operations going on, even though it has supposedly stopped. How do I determine from the command line what this process is named and how do I kill it to remove the icon

Ubuntu Networking :: Command To Kill All Sftp Connections

Feb 20, 2010

I want to use a cron job to backup my files to my server. Now when I run the script manually, I get an error when backing up (something and sftp file being used or so). I only get this when I'm simultaneously connected to my server with sftp. So to be sure that this doesnt happen when I wont be there anymore to look at the log, I would like to know if there is a command to kill all sftp connections. I would put this command in the backup scrip cron uses.

How do I kill a python application from the command line? For an example I have 2 applications running. The first is bleachbit and the second is furiusisomount.

I could kill them by ID number but if there was another way to do it so that it could be automated in a bash script.

Software :: Unable To Kill Process With Kill -9

Jan 13, 2011

the process is mcelog. When I do as root kill -9 2323 which is pid of mcelog the process is not killed. I tried doing the same from top, press K and enter pid of mcelog. doing ps auwx | grep mcelog I see there are several results. I tried killing all of them like kill -9 2355 2341 3425 2345. But re-running the above commands still shows them as running. How else would I troubleshoot this to avoid restarting of the box.

General :: What To Do When Ctrl-c Can't Kill Process?

Feb 9, 2011

Ctrl-c doesn't always work to kill the current process (for instance, if that process is busy in certain network operations). In that case, you just see "^C" by your cursor, and can't do much else.What's the easiest way to force that process to die now without losing my terminal?

Summary of answers below:Usually, you can Ctrl-z to put the process to sleep, and then do "kill -9 process-pid", where you find the process's pid with 'ps' and other tools.On Bash (and possibly other shells) you can do "kill -9 %1" (or '%N' in general) which is easier. If Ctrl-z doesn't work, you'll have to open another terminal and kill from there.

General :: Get It To Kill FreeBSD Install?

Aug 22, 2010

This is a humbling experience for a long time MS admin/tech.I am wanting to build a file server fr my home network. So, I downloaded and installed FreeBSD 8.1 last night.Wanting a more familiar interface, I downloaded and tried to install KDE. It loads and asks for language. Then I select "Install kubuntu".

The kubuntu logo and a progress meter pop up for a while. Eventually the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I have to reboot. If I take the CD out it boots to FreeBSD.Am I missing something? Kubuntu never asks anything regarding partitioning. Is FreeBSD an os like DOS and kubuntu a GUI like Win 3.1 or is kubuntu more like XP with a GUI built in to the os? If it is the latter, how do I get it to kill the FreeBSD install?"Try kubuntu without installing" does the same thing.

General :: Kill X Server Without Being Forced To Log Out?

Jun 9, 2010

I'm having trouble killing X server and keeping access to the console. I'm trying to install an Nvidia driver so that I can use OpenGL with Geant4. To install the driver, I need X server to be off.I Googled, and found a lot of things about runlevels that no longer apply in 10.04, since inittab has been removed, and that the runlevel now defaults to 2.

I tried CTRL + ALT + Backspace, but that just boots me to the GUI login prompt. In earlier versions of Ubuntu, I would set the default runlevel to 3, but since I'm already at 2, that seems to be as low as I need to go. I tried it in runlevel 1, but the installer warned me about the possibility of needing daemons that would otherwise be running. So in summary, I just need to be able to kill the X server and keep using the console on the current run level. If anyone knows how I can do that in 10.04,

General :: Kill X Windows From Gnome Interface?

Jul 4, 2010

I just installed Arch Linux with Gnome and gdm is set to boot into gnome as soon as it boots.
But I realized that the barebone gnome package that I installed doesn't include a terminal or a text editor so I can't install anything further or modify the rc.conf file to make it boot without gdm.

Is there a way for me to kill x from the Gnome interface?
