Howdy all, This one if for you dedicated bash scripters.
I have a script, which I am happy to send to you off-list, which basically waits for flag-files (using touch) and do actions and exec programs. Anyway, this all works perfectly for up to 7 days, when eventually it just stops. I run the script on two different PCs, and both suffer the same problem. I find, that I can't CTRL-C the script in this stopped state, but I can CTRL-Z it and then 'kill %1'. This is a 'ps aux' output of the process: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 18605 62.0 1.2 2240 1272 pts/0 R 2001 Jan07 7051:44 sh ./slave.sh You'll notice, its not a zombie, its still using CPU and its not a memory leak. I've run out of ideas, so it over to you guys! TIA, Stephan http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo!
