General :: Termination Of A Process Release File And Other Resources ?

Apr 15, 2011

If I forget to close a file, a socket or any other resource in a Linux process, and the the process terminates, will those resources be freed? Is there a difference if the process terminates normally or is killed?

Programming :: Creates A Child Process With Fork And, When The Child Ends, Receives The SIGCHLD Signal And Wait For Its Termination?

May 23, 2011

I have a doubt about signals in C programming. I have done this little program to explain it. It creates a child process with fork and, when the child ends, receives the SIGCHLD signal and wait for its termination.Ok, quite easy, BUT when I execute this code the SIGCHLD signal is received twice, first as an error (returns -1) and the second one to finish the child process.I don't understand the meaning of the first received signal. Why is it generated? Is the code wrong? (if you add the SIGINT and press Ctrl+C during the execution it also receives two signals instead of one)

Code: #include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>

Slackware :: Release Of Slackware And Hardware Resources?

May 8, 2011

How does the relationship of release of Slackware relate to hardware capability of a PC?

What I mean to ask is, in general, I presume a 10 year old PC is likely to have difficulty running 13.37 and might be better off with an earlier release or am I wrong? My current PC is 5 years old and has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800 processor and 2MB of RAM. It manages fine with Slackware 64 13.0. I have installed 13.37 on another partition but not decided whether to move to it or not. One thing I was wondering was - is 13.37 more demanding of resources for my ageing PC or could it be on the contrary - the newer kernel is actually more efficient and and less demanding of resources?

General :: Termination Of Xtern Launching An Application With Xterm -e?

Jun 8, 2011

I wanted to launch sqlite3 with the command:

xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &

The xterm window flashes for a moment and then terminates. Exactly the same result is encountered with:

a) xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;"" (as suggested in man xterm)

b)giving an alias in .bashrc to:
sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;"
and running: xterm -e alias

c)giving: xterm -e echo "something"

d)using: konsole -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &

If a launch sqlite3 with:

xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database &

The xterm window launches with no problem and sqlite3 opens the database as expected. If I enter "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" every thing works as expected and I get the correct result.

The same applies if I launch xterm with: xterm & and then: sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT *FROM TABLE;" to the command line.I sometimes use xterm -e to launch applications to a separate window and never had the slightest problem. I suspect it might be a bash thing (konsole and echo not working as well as above stated) and not an xterm thing. I made a search in man bash for quoting and backslashing but it didn't bright up things.

General :: How To Determine What File Tripped Up Tar Process

Feb 8, 2010

I am writing, well actually enhancing, a script to do a daily backup of important data on my PC to a second hard drive.I wish to tar my home directory to a single file - and will probably use gzip as well.So I decided to work out the correct tar syntax in a terminal first - here is what happened.I opened a terminal window.I cd to a directory not part of my home directory.I issued the command..Quote: tar -cvf mytar.tar /home/ken tar processed a bunch of files, the last being .netrc.I examined the tar file and it contains .netrc.The contents of .netrc are correct.I scrolled back through the list of files in the terminal window and do not see any error messages.I guess the question is... how do I determine what file tripped up the tar process?

General :: Track File Opening Attempts From A Process?

Aug 23, 2011

I am running an Ubuntu(10.04) box and I am attempting to understand an error in a program.I don't have access to the source of this program, but I know it isn't working properly because it cannot find a particular file. I was wondering if it would be possible to monitor what file are accessed(more specifically denied access) by a process. My first idea was to breakpoint on fopen, but I didn't have any success.

General :: Comparing Resources Using Top?

Apr 6, 2011

Fedora 15 Alpha

3861 user 20 0 904m 128m 33m S 0.7 6.4 1:11.52 xulrunner-bin
1323 user 20 0 1555m 95m 31m S 13.5 4.8 4:06.87 gnome-shell
3494 user 20 0 1028m 50m 21m S 12.8 2.5 1:43.32 evolution

I just wondering what is the difference between RES, SHR, and VIRT.

1) The VIRT always seems to be higher. Is this using the paging file system. (virtual memory on the harddisk, the swap memory)

2) Is the RES memory the actual physical RAM memory?

3) Is shared memory sharing memory with other processes?

4) Just a final question. As I am running on a HP Mini 210, memory and CPU is a resource I don't have a abundence of. So if was to compare for example 2 difference browsers i.e. firefox and midora. What should I brench mark between to 2 to find what one uses less resources?

Open document Read Only or open a copy of the document for editing.All I can figure is, maybe I didn't exit the gFTP application properly. How do I release this lock on this file on my computer?

General :: Java Process Without Memory Detail In Proc File System?

May 13, 2010

To get the kernel messages of new java process, i refer the details from /proc/<java pid>/stat and /proc/<java pid>/statm files. For some java processes, I didn't find any details in the /proc/<java pid>/statm file. It has only 7 number of 0s. But /proc/<java pid>/stat file has the details. And also this kind of process will have the life time of nearly 1 minute.

Kernel version using: Linux-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 Is there any possibility of java process without the memory details in the /proc/<java pid>/statm file? If it is possible, how to know the memory related details of that processes?

General :: Minimalistic Distro For Low Resources Netbook?

Jun 5, 2010

I want a distro I can run on my very weak netbook, and perhaps on one or two other of my other computers as well. Netbook is an Asus eeePC 900SD (Celeron 800mhz, 512MB RAM, 8GB SDD, 1024x600 screen resolution), very slow with some distros, but nimble with others.

I've tried:
Ubuntu Netbook Remix (EasyPeasy), Leeenux, JoliCloud: too resource hungry on this machine, too much storage consumed just for the OS. Peppermint OS - pros: works well, nice, very few bugs, fast.cons: space requirements, memory requirements make it a bit tight, cloud apps are slower than locally installed ones, the permanent inclusion of a paid-subscription cloud app, and fascist support forum moderators. a bit overweight, and way too cloud-centric - many of the cloud apps are on unreliable servers and not always available or slow down your netbook to a crawl while it waits for some executable code to come off the web. Puppeee version 1.0 (and Fluppy for all netbooks), works very well, very fast, in little RAM with little disk space required. Some may not like the overcrowded menus and their structure that's inherited from the parent Puppy. Puppy 5.1: works very well compared to the 4.3 series. wifi works now. But same menu comments as for Puppeee. Slitaz: at 30MB for the iso, it sounded promising, and the interface is very nice, much nicer than any of the other minimalistic distros. but Wifi? no help on the horizon.
AntiX: some stuff just didn't work properly, including Wifi WPA. but it looked real good. For the space and memory requirements look to Peppermint. TinyMe2010: this is the size of Puppy, and polished like Peppermint. Based on a slimmed-down Unity, it is still in beta, the installer won't install from USB stick. If you have a CD to install from this is a great distro! Lets hope they fix the USB issue soon! Very promising... keep a watch on this one.

[Code]...

I've tried dozens of distros, and find it frustrating to deal with the various crippling flaws of some distros and the egos of the assemblers of other distros (where they can easily fix something but refuse to because they prefer an older faulty way). I am at my whit's end here. Please help me someone.

From us Noob's point of view: the new re-release of Windows XP for Legacy computers with only 64MB of RAM, it may be time to re-visit our thinking that minimalistic Linux distros are the only kid on the block for those slower machines with less resources. Time to get back to the drawing board and make these a little more user-welcoming. ;-)

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.
