So: my question is how do I stop this, for good. Killing the perl script obviously works , but Im not going to do this forever, each time I reboot, and I admit I ve had so many, many problems with this supposedly " rock solid" OS , I m ready to go back to Ubuntu.
The three offending processes: "Mr. Big:" 1016 1014 0 07:57:48 pts/2 0:01 /usr/bin/gnome-session "The Lieutenant": 1065 1016 47 07:58:01 pts/2 1:15 services-admin --sm-config-prefix /services-admin-bxaGgc/ --sm-client-id 11c0a8 "The Henchman": 1072 1065 13 07:58:03 ? 0:27 perl /usr/share/setup-tool-backends/scripts/services-conf --report --sm-client-id 11c0a80002000121262539000000010240001 1. After about 10 mins post login the perl script consumes close to 100% of the available hard disk cycles. This appears to be due to a memory problem, comprising infinite repeated swaps of the entire memory space to disk. This will continue for hours if allowed. 2. system gradually becomes unusable to the point that it will not even shut down: trying to logoff and shtudown, it goes into "maintenance" mode. Other info: SunOS 5.11 snv_90 i86pc i386 i86pc however, the same things happen if I regress back to snv_89 or Solaris 10 5/08 using their respective live_upgrade boot slices. Thanks to anyone that can help with stopping this . SGK This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
