It is an openvpn process but I cannot retsrat the service as I alreday have another openvpn service running on the server so when I do openvpn service restart, it won;t know which service to restart.
Sometimes (rarely) when I try to open VLC it wont open, but it stays in the background and takes 98-100% of one core.
The problem is that I can't kill that vlc-process.
Code: Select allkillall vlc
will NOT kill it
and
Code: Select allkill 31641
won't work either
top shows
Code: Select allPID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
31641 xxxxxxxx 20 0 1320248 64384 39120 S 100.0 1.6 44:51.94 vlc
Is there any way to kill the vlc-process (without booting the machine)? I also tried the "killall vlc" and "kill 31641" as root with the same results.
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
Slack is 32bit. Frequently, firefox becomes unresponsive. I can close the window, but the process is not terminated. I am not able to restart firefox without rebooting.
When this problems occurs the firefox processes are not terminated by the 'kill' command. Example
Code:
tim@bart:/home/http/run/baker/cron$ ps aux | grep firefox
tim 3780 0.0 0.0 3356 1640 ? S 15:59 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/firefox
tim 3792 0.0 0.0 3404 1696 ? S 15:59 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.2/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.2/firefox-bin

How do you find the parent process of zombie processes?
When the child process is something where the parent is not entirely obvious...
Is there some way to list processes in tree format or something?
how do I detect and kill zombie processes left from the command line of a Linux terminal?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSometimes I find a process named 'sh' running under my username with the status 'zombie' waiting channel 'do_exit' on my system. Its ID increments by 4 every time System Monitor updates its display.
Today, it was there immediately after booting The only thing I did after logging in is start the System Monitor
I can't kill it since its ID changes too fast.
I don't know how it gets started, but it bothers me since it is behavior I would expect from something that is trying to hide.
If I hover over its name, the tool tip contains 'sh'

I have my code with my fork in a server and each time a client connects one more process is created. i use this code for the handling of zombies
void sig_chld(int signo){//Diadikasia gia tin diagrafi twn 'zombies'
signal( SIGCHLD, sig_chld );//signal gia ton entopismo tou zombie
pid_t pid;
[code]....
but i need the server to kill each zombie after the client is disconnecting and not to have to press ctrl+c
I got indication of zombie process via top command
Code:
Tasks: 321 total, 1 running, 319 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
I don't have 'Z' indication on 'Status' column
How could it possible to identify this process ?
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.

View 12 Replies View Relatedthe 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.

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.

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
