fglgo eating cpu
Posted in 1992
In response to gaukur@rhi.hi.is whose fglgo eats cpu: We have similar problem frequently on our Unisys 5000, runniing sql SE 2.10G where a user is running a report script which is waitng for input from the terminal (accepting input before running the report). If our off-brand LAN disconnects them, or the disconnects from it without first deleting(CANCEL) our of the prompt, the sql process becomes a child of PID #1 and takes on a life of its own, eating memory til we run out. When we do a ps -efl and look in the SIZE column it gets as big as our kernal tuning will allow, which is too much for anything else to run. System halts. Kernal is tuned that way for various nightime process which need it. I was just hoping our soon-to-be- installed 4.0 would repair the problem! Meanwhile, we have a scripts that runs from cron every 5 minutes and kills any process bigger than XXXX. Does anyone else have SQL/SE that does this? Is 4.0 better? Ann Barnes Letterkenny Army Depot
