how do i kill processes with STAT D in ps, when the process(es) is the
parent ?
please consider the following:
# pstree -p
init(1)-+-apmd(31126)
|-atd(31341)
|-crond(31352)
|-find(31205)
|-find(25554)
where init(1) is the parent for find(31205) and find(31205), and both
find() processes ire STAT D.
'init 1' won't work. i've been told that rebooting the box might be the
only way to remove dead processes.
here's an excerpt from 'top':
11:55pm up 30 days, 3:53, 8 users, load average: 25.02, 25.05, 25.08
114 processes: 112 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 3.6% user, 3.6% system, 0.0% nice, 92.7% idle
Mem: 62140K av, 60544K used, 1596K free, 52120K shrd, 1328K buff
Swap: 283120K av, 3956K used, 279164K free 14816K cached
i've been told that some of these dead processes might be causing that
absurd load average. does anybody have any ideas ?
