General :: How To Find And Kill Remote Processes

Oct 28, 2010

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.

General :: Kill Remote Processes Started With SSH?

Aug 26, 2009

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.

General :: Kill All Idle User Processes ?

Nov 18, 2010

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.

General :: Using Killall To Kill Mysql Processes?

Aug 14, 2009

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

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.

General :: Finding A Cmd That Will Kill All Processes That Are Accessing A Specific Filename?

Dec 16, 2009

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?

Ubuntu Servers :: Kill Processes With Name=x && %mem>y?

Sep 22, 2010

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!

Programming :: Perl To Kill Off Some Processes?

Nov 18, 2010

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).

General :: Kill Bash Processes "nicely"?

Dec 15, 2010

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)?

Ubuntu :: Emergency Command To Kill Processes?

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.

Programming :: Kill Script Kills Too Many Processes?

Oct 21, 2010

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...

Server :: Write A Cron Job To Delete Imap Processes Every Minute

Jan 8, 2010

I'm running my website on a linux server. I'm using a mac. Apparently, mac mail has a bug where it creates too many imap processes.

Since I'm on a shared server with a 25 process limit, with 3 email accts x 4+ processes each = a lot of problems!

I'm trying to write a cron job to delete imap processes every minute.

I've tried two things

1) following this blog's advice [URL]

Code:
killall imap

i realised it was imapd not imap, but i tried another method anyway

2) create a kill-imap.sh file in my server folder.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/killall imapd

then executing the file from the cron command /kill-imap.sh

both these cases, it didn't seem to work!

I would get a daemon emai reply with

imapd: no process killed

just to give more info, the existing imap processes look like this

/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd /home/sitename/mail/sitename.com/emailusername

honestly, I'm not too experienced in this, and i've searched the net without luck. can anyone advise what i'm supposed to do to kill these imap processes every 5 min via cron job?

Software :: Unable To Kill Process With Kill -9

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.

Fedora :: No Output From Cron Jobs In /etc/cron.daily

Jan 29, 2011

I have added some executable scripts to /etc/cron.daily but don't get the stdout/stderr output from them as mail (or anywhere else I have found). At least one of them is running (because I can see that it has added a file to the disk).

The peculiar thing is that I do get the output from /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch (part of the logwatch package) as an email each day.

The MAILTO line in /etc/crontab is "MAILTO=root" (unchanged from default). Same for /etc/anacrontab.

I do have an alias at the end of /etc/aliases which redirects root's mail to my own account, but this alias works fine for mail I send manually. (It also appears to work fine for the output from the file /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.)

Ubuntu :: Do Cron Updates Erase Cron Entries

Sep 19, 2010

I put in my cron entries to run my backup script which rsyncs my data to my 2nd drive, however on a hunch I checked my backup drive which mounts automatically via fstab and I realize it had not ran in a while. I checked cron and there were no entries for it. I got to wondering if I should ever be worried about a cron update coming down and over-writing my existing cron file with the backup entries in it to run.
