Runaway Processes (UNIX) How can I find and kill my runaway processes that use cpu and memory?

MFCF/CSCF Frequently Asked Questions: UNIX computing environ...
The runaway processes are created by a crashed program or session. They usually stay in the system for a long time and consume cpu-time and memory-space. They usually do not release the files they opened for reading or writing, therefore, you may face with lack of disk space, or files that you cannot delete. You can use the "ps" command to see different information about your processes and find runaway processes.

Q20. How to check and KILL a run-away processes in my Unix account ?

Computer Centre - HKU
To check the processes owned by you in Unix derived from System V Release 4.0 (such as the HKUSUA system), the user can issue the command: ccbox 999409 995320 0.0 10:19:56 pts/9 0:00.00 grep ccbox To kill any of your processes, identify the process id (PID), and the issue the command: Call the Help Desk at 2859 2480 and ask for the license manager to re-install the expired license for the software.

How much CPU/memory can I expect the SunMC Agent and Server processes to consume?

Halcyon FAQ for Sun Management Center 2.x
Resource consumption varies widely with the level of monitoring you are doing. This is a list of "average" resources each component uses out-of-the box. As the SunMC server starts monitoring additional hosts, or as the Agent has more modules loaded, more resources will be consumed.(Resident Set Size, % CPU) Note: Solaris statistics are taken from an Ultra5 (Solaris 7), NT4 statistics from a Celeron 400 (SP5), Linux statistics from Pentium 2 400 (RedHat 6.1 2.2.

K9 seems to use a lot of CPU/memory, slowing down my other programs. Can I fix this?

Robin Keir's home page - Software - K9 - FAQ
Usually K9 is pretty efficient with its processing. However, depending on several factors it can consume a lot of horsepower for small periods of time. To help minimize these problems follow these steps. Make sure your Recent Emails list is kept reasonably short. Use the Cleanup and Storage options on the Configuration page to keep this list trimmed. The same applies to the Archives area lists. Again, use the Cleanup and Storage options to ensure that the lists never grow too large. See similar questions...

I am a runaway. What can I do?

Frequently Asked Questions
Being a runaway is an indication of turmoil within your home. Sometimes the problems stem from your choices, sometimes from your parent or guardian actions , some combination of the two, or even some other cause. Rather than finding a place for blame, the focus is on trying to solve the problem(s) or at least reduce the tension in the home enough so that it is once again livable. See similar questions...

How about CPU speed and memory?

Riffster FAQ
The oldest box we use regularly for testing and development is a Pentium II laptop running at 266 MHz with 64MB of memory, 2MB of video RAM, and an on-board sound system with a 1024x768 display. No problem there. On a contemporary system (Pentium 4 processor running at 2.4GHz) Riffster has an average processor loading under 5%. Remember, on a Windows system you can't absolutely guarantee completely glitch free audio ? it's not a real-time operating system, so it's just not possible. See similar questions...

How can I automatically kill hung processes when I logoff?

Patrick J. Kidd - Windows FAQ -
When you tell NT to shut down, it first sends shutdown requests to any running processes. Most 32-bit applications honour these requests and shut down, but older 16-bit apps running in the Virtual DOS Machine often won't. When this occurs, the operating system prompts you with a dialog box asking if you want to kill the task, wait for the task to die on its own, or cancel the shutdown. By modifying the Registry, you can automate this process. See similar questions...

How much memory should rdiff-backup use? Is there a memory leak?

rdiff-backup FAQ
The amount of memory rdiff-backup uses should not depend much on the size of directories being processed. Keeping track of hard links may use up memory, so if you have, say, hundreds of thousands of files hard linked together, rdiff-backup may need tens of MB. If rdiff-backup seems to be leaking memory, it is probably because it is using an early version of librsync. librsync 0.9.5 leaks lots of memory. Later versions should not leak and are available from the librsync homepage. See similar questions...

How can I kill my bot from the Unix command prompt?

The Eggdrop FAQ: Running the bot
Simpliest way: kill -9 'cat pid.Botname' Note the use of backquotes. Change the "Botname" to the name of your bot. If this do not work, telling you "no such process", go ahead: Use the 'ps' utility to find running processes. The syntax differs from Unix to Unix, you can try these, until you find one that works: ps -axu | grep yourusername ps -Af | grep yourusername ps -ef | grep yourusername This will show all your processes that are running. Find your eggdrop and locate the process number. See similar questions...

What kind of memory can I use on my Mac?

Herb's Mac Stuff FAQ
Mac computers and printers use a variety of memory, which is called "SIMMS" or "DIMMS" or "VRAM". Most of my memory is sold from a Mac Memory Web page. I provide some descriptions there of memory for most of the systems I sell, but not for the printers. For printers you'll probably have to look at Apple's manual or an Apple document. While I try to identify issues and problems when I can, it is up to YOU the customer to determine what memory and how much memory you need. See similar questions...

How do I find out how much memory and CPU time my job used?

Supercomputing FAQs
The queue_job_id is the numeric job number. This is seen in the left column when you type "qstat -a" while the job is running. After the job completes, there will be an additional file in your directory with the job id number as part of the file name. In the output from tracejob, resources_used.cput is the amount of CPU time used, and resources_used.mem is the maximum amount of memory used. See similar questions...

How can I make a Webmin user always use the same password as Unix?

Webmin
In the Webmin Users module, click on the user that you want to symchronize with Unix and set his Password option to Unix Authentication. If PAM is not used on your operating system, the first two steps can be skipped. Webmin will instead read the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file directly to authenticate users who are using the Unix Authentication password mode. See similar questions...

What happens to processes running in a sandbox when I kill the sandbox?

Fortres Grand Corporation: Virtual Sandbox: FAQs

Can I use Unix 98 ptys?

The linux-kernel mailing list FAQ
Section 11- Primer documents Please, if you wish to contribute a Q/A in this section, provide a very short answer defining the topic and then a URL to a longer text/Web page. Like that we can have various URL's for a single Q, each with a different point of view. Another advantage of this approach is that each contributor has to sit down and write a coherent HTML page or text file. Having to structure a written answer gives ample time to think about the issues and the topic as a whole. See similar questions...

Running Resource Consumptive Programs on UNIX How can I run long/large processes ?

MFCF/CSCF Frequently Asked Questions: UNIX computing environ...
If you must run programs that use a lot of cpu, and/or a lot of memory, on a shared Unix system, then use the batch command. This is a requirement on MFCF owned systems, and strongly recommended on all others (e.g. systems belonging to research groups). If the process isn't expected to use a lot of memory, then the long batch queue is appropriate. If it will use a lot of memory, then the big queue should be used. See similar questions...
