i am bit confused about the two process that is zombie and orphan procees,both is different so what is the exact difference between the two process that makes it different and if there is no parent process then init adopts the children in both the case.

I can't find a way for the user to cancel the decryption process by exiting the script without pdfcrack orphaning. Line 349 works the rest of the time; the concerned process is line 228. I believe it's a piping/subshell problem. At least that's how I've been going at it in vain.

I have Debian jessie and the only "nonofficial" repositories I have enabled are
#google chrome
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main
#Backports
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
And from those I have installed only chrome, and wine-development, and I dont think those could have anything to do with this problem.
Booting the machine does work, but I don't want to boot my machine just now. This happens about once per week
I'm writting a program that uses a USB webcam. Sometimes the program crashes and exits, but sometimes it crashes and becomes a zombie process, which I can't kill even with -9/-KILL signal. When that happens, all access to th USB webcam is totally interrupted and all attempts to communicate with it fail.I'm looking for a way to either force this process to terminate or to at least make it release the webcam so I can use it again. So far, the only way I've found to regain control of the camera is to reboot

When this problems occurs the firefox processes are not terminated by the 'kill' command. Example

Is there any difference in cpu usage for process in init.rc(runs automatic when boot is happened) and manually running process. Will these both have same priority by default...?

I was wondering if 7735, 7736, 7737, 7743 were really processes. Then I checked /proc, I could cd to /proc/7735, /proc/7736, etc, but I could not ls them out. I looked at the man page of "pstree", it says,
Code:
Child threads of a process are found under the parent process and are shown with the process name in curly braces, e.g.
icecast2---13*[{icecast2}]
So, what does all this mean? Does it mean that 7735, 7736, 7737, 7743 are just threads but not processes? If so, why could I cd to /proc/<id> but not see them in "ps -elf".

I did a cleanup on old user ids on my server several months ago. One of the user ids was 1005.. When i check the quota page on webmin, it says that userid 1005 is using 8.40 GB on the system, but I can't find those files anywhere! The home folder was deleted with the user ids, so I'm not sure what the username was to begin with.If I check the passwd file - there is no 1005 listed. So i did a find / uid 1005 and I tried a find / -nouser command.. Neither list files owned by 1005. How can I find where those 8.4 GB of files are?edit: when I do a du -sch * to find space being used.. there is only 5 folders within the /home that could have 8G in there .. (assumeing du -sch shows all files, including hidden).. du -sch * from / shows only possible location is in the /home folder

Description of what the code does or what i intended to do:
1. Created a child process from parent process using 'fork()'
2. Sent a signal 'SIGALRM' from child process to parent process using 'sigqueue' function.
(The Third parameter of 'siqueue' function contains the message (message msg) which the child process wants to send to the parent process.'msg' is a stucture instance containing a) pid of child and b) string) 5. Print the 'msg' sent by child process inside the signal handler function 'sig_action_function' of the parent process I am getting some junk value when this line is executed
Code:
printf("%d
",msg->cpid);
I expected to get the pid of child process, which the child process sent to parent process through the signal.
As the question implies, what is a zombie task/process in top?
View 1 Replies View Relatedas we all know Process Scheduler does Process scheduling and its a process as well. I was just wondering that if this happens then the Process "Process Scheduler" should be a part of Process queue as well.
So if there are 5 process are there in Process queue & process scheduler is administrating them then since its also a process, once it puts a process under RUN state it should itself go inside queue because at one instant only one process can get executed on a processor. This is quite confusing for me. Please help me out. I tried to search on this but could not find any relevant topics.
I have a process running on Linux.When i do ps -eaf | grep <myProcess>, it show muliple entries for <myProcess> with different pids for each entry.Kindly tell me what could be the reason for a process having multiple pids?
