I've written about this before. Never did get resolution. Now it's a
problem again. Xastir is locking up on me after only a couple of
hours of operation. This is a royal PITA because when it locks up I
can't get it to quit unless I reboot the computer. I've tried kill
and killall commands. They do NOTHING on a locked-up Xastir process
(never had any other process refuse to quit before). Here's what it
looks like.
21:43 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ ps -acux | grep xastir
chip 12012 0.1 1.3 126624 3396 p1- R 3:47PM

A couple of notes. Do not fixate on the kill command format used
here. I had just randomly found that a -4 would at least get it to
try and quit (I'm assuming that's what the parenthesis mean), no
other command would even cause a change. I had only started one
instance of Xastir, so I have no clue why there are three running. I
just rebooted and all I did was start one instance of Xastir and this
is what it says:
21:56 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ ps -acux | grep xastir
chip 304 2.1 0.1 73736 216 ?? R 9:55PM
0:00.86 xastir
chip 303 0.8 8.6 127620 22580 ?? Rs 9:55PM
0:02.93 xastir
chip 305 0.0 0.1 73736 192 ?? S 9:55PM
0:00.00 xastir
21:56 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $
I have no idea what some of that stuff means ... time to RTFM for ps.
Three questions:
1. Why are three processes starting every time Xastir runs and what
are the other processes doing?
2. When the process locks up, how do I get it to quit since KILL and
KILLALL aren't working?
3. Why does the latest CVS builds on Xastir lockup after only a
couple of hours operating?
