Hi, Other day I was writing a small pro-active system monitoring script in Ruby, and I forgot to close my IO pipe for pgrep command, every time I checked my system status. So after a day, there were more than 32,000 zombie pgrep processes. I could only run bash commands and nothing else.
I could only find out number of processes due to bash-completion in /proc/ directory. So I had to reboot my system. However my concern is, in a case like this, is there a way we could, find, kill the processes by just using bash utilities.? I tried Googling it, and found a couple of answers, but I am sure you would have run into such situations before. -- Thank you... *Amar Akshat (アマール)* *"Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen."* _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
