Hi:
I did a quick look on the internet for how to detach a child process
from the parent, but I am afraid that the present running condition of
my tasks are such that disown does not work anymore, nor does nohup work
upon starting the child to prevent the parent from really interrupting
the child process and the child terminating. (despite what is stated,
much to my big surprise this very thing happened, despite my starting
the child command with nohup prepended)
Here's the current process tree (one example of several which are similar)
PPID PID PGID SID TTY TPGID STAT UID TIME COMMAND
1591 1602 993 993 ? -1 Sl 1000 0:00 \_
/usr/bin/startplasma-x11
1602 1680 993 993 ? -1 Sl 1000 0:00 \_
/usr/bin/plasma_session
1680 1771 993 993 ? -1 Sl 1000 146:01
\_ /usr/bin/plasmashell
1771 4610 993 993 ? -1 Sl 1000 0:21 |
\_ /usr/bin/konsole
4610 4661 4661 4661 pts/4 2327 Ss 1000 0:00 |
| \_ /bin/bash
4661 20122 20122 4661 pts/4 2327 R 1000 1592:01
| | \_ /usr/local/magma/magma.exe
4661 2327 2327 4661 pts/4 2327 S+ 1000 0:00 |
| \_ tail -f d1.results
My goal is to get processes 20122 and 2327 detached from 4661
/usr/bin/konsole so that both are now attached to process PPID 1 (I believe)
How can this be done safely? My Plasma v5.24.5 desktop is suffering from
leaky memory and has consumed 58% of my 32 gig memory so I am going to
have to restart the desktop.
Sooner or later the Plasmashell IS going to consume ALL the system
memory resources and finally crash the system.
