Debian :: Can't Kill Zombie Process

Feb 2, 2016

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

Software :: Freeing I/O Resource Held By Zombie Process?

Feb 21, 2010

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

Slackware :: Can't Kill Firefox Process On Slack 12.0 (zombie)

General :: Using Route Command With A Non Root Process?

Sep 15, 2010

I use the system command route from a process (using the system() call). For security reasons the process does not have root privilege and for some reason I cannot use ioctl() either. I tried to set the capabilities of the process to NET_ADMIN and SYS_ADMIN but the route command still failed due to insufficient permissions.

What are the capabilities that I need to set for route to be successful?

General :: Command To Find Parent And Child Process?

Apr 21, 2011

I have a script that calls other scripts/commands which may or may not spawn other process. From my understanding, when I do a ps -ef, the highest numbered process ID is supposed to be the parent ID of all the other related child processes, is this correct? In most or all circumstances, I do a ps -ef | grep <processid> of my script and anything that spawns off that process IDs I assumed are the child processes of my script. If I want to terminate my script and all other child processes, then I kill the parent ID which is the highest numbered PID and this will subsequently kill all other child process IDs, is this correct?

Now, my question is whether there is any quick way of showing what are the child processes of a parent ID instead of what am currently doing now which is visually checking which one is the parent ID and "assuming" that the highest numbered PID is the parent ID of all the other processes. Below is a sample output of running ps -ef | grep exp | grep -v grep. I assume from the output below that the parent process/ID is PID 11322, is that correct?

Code:

oracle 11154 11153 0 21:20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c (. ~oracle/.profile; /bin/ksh /usr/local/oracle/scripts/expdp_o
oracle 11155 11154 0 21:20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c (. ~oracle/.profile; /bin/ksh /usr/local/oracle/scripts/expdp_o
oracle 11190 11155 0 21:20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/ksh /usr/local/oracle/scripts/expdp_schema.ksh dev01

General :: Specify Password For Sudo Command When Running Bg Process?

Jun 23, 2010

I'd like to start a background job using the sudo command and route its output to a file. This presents a problem because the prompt for the password doesn't work properly. It looks something like this when I try it:

Code:
Mac:server user$ sudo php crossdomain_server.php > data/crosscomain_output.txt &
[3] 30303
Mac:server user$ Password:
[3]+ Stopped sudo php crossdomain_server.php > data/crosscomain_output.txt
Mac:server user$

Basically I'm not properly prompted for the password and as soon as I type anything in my background job fails because it didn't receive the password. Is there any way to execute a sudo command by supplying the password on the same line as the command?

General :: Sending Remote Command To Background Process + Out Log?

Because of my English skills I'll try to explain this subject as best I can, thank you for understanding. Fisrt of all, I am running some program on my slackware in background (using standard method - &). I need to make a script, which allows sending command to this process on my machine from another one. Furthermore this program have to be logged out (standard output f.e. ./myprogram > log.out.txt).It might be a separate Program A which runs my Program B but it cannot be screen, because it is not working like I'd like to and it cannot be java, because it's slow and working not the best so to speak

General :: Function Having Background Process Inside Command Substitution

Oct 5, 2010

The first call to "somefunction" works as expected. The function prints "endfunction" and a process in background sleeps 30 seconds. In the second call I thought it should work in the same way, but the script sleeps 30 seconds before it prints "endfunction".Does someone know the reason of this behavior? Is there another way to do a command substitution of a function that has a background process without have to waiting for that process?
