I have a suite of scripts which process logs but get hung after two hours. My initial looking into it shows that cygwin ps command thinks the processes are present, but windows task manager doesn't see them at all. It's as if the parent wasn't informed that it's child died. Perhaps a wait system call isn't working or memory corruption of data structures containing this information or race conditions on accessing data structures, etc.
I have run into this off and on since cygwin1.dll 1.5.12 always hoping that new versions would make the problem go away. I seem to recall similar posts by others. I'm now running the 1.5.15 4/12 snapshot. Anyway hoping there might be suggestions to help track this down. I'll try strace one more time (when run with it before, the problem did not occur). -- Ken Shaffer - - - - - - - Appended by Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. - - - - - - - This e-mail and any attachments may contain information which is confidential, proprietary, privileged or otherwise protected by law.
