From: ian AT kiwiplan DOT co DOT nz (Ian Collins) Subject: Corrupt Process Listing 9 May 1998 21:07:11 -0700 Message-ID: <3554D684.D3D07120.cygnus.gnu-win32@kiwiplan.co.nz> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnuwin32 (This looks better in fixed width font). I am using NT4 SP3. I downloaded coolview this morning. I am running a job that executes thousands of processes. It doesn't seem to matter whether I run this job interactively or in the background. The job is essentially a script with lots of calls to "make". After a while, make refuses to start any more processes, just echoing the error "waitforjob: no children". After this happens, the output of ps (the ps with coolview) looks as follows, (Incidentally, the date is on the PC is correct at, Sun May 10 10:12:36 1998). /usr3/ian: ps PID PPID PGID WINPID UID TTY STIME COMMAND I 32896 1000 32896 180 500 -1 09:57:02 e:\usr\local\libexec\in.telnetd O 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 I 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 0 0 0 0 0 2 Jan 01 I 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 B19\cpp.exe S 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 I 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jul 09 S 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 0 0 268750116 1024 5512 268750228 Jan 01 I 0 0 0 0 5272 268466892 Jan 01 I 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 S 0 0 828536174 0 14949 909652841 Jul 08 I 0 0 44768592 0 137 -1024 Jan 01 S 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 O 0 32835 1 33620970 1002 0 Jan 01 9\H-i386-cygwin32\bin\bash.exe 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 I 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jan 01 S 0 0 2 0 0 0 Jan 01 The only thing I can do now is reboot (Incidentally, is there an easy way of doing this? I am logged on to our gnuwin32 server from Home using telnet. I am actually rebooting the remote NT machine using a network manager, ntmanage. A command line reboot would be great). - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
