Subject: killing a stuborn process
Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 20:34:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <web-13985563@uni-freiburg.de> (raw)
Greetings,
please excuse if this is a newbie question, I'm no computer
expert.
I have several dual ATHLON PC's with Suse 8.0 in a Beowulf
cluster on which I run molecular dynamics calculations.
On one of my machines the calculations stop sometimes
without apparent reason and I can't end the processes
anymore (kill -9 has no effect). The processes are shown as
running by ps, but they produce no cpu load with top.
Is there another way to kill such a process?
I suppose one of the CPUs might be damaged, but how do I
test if that is true and what causes the processes to
hangup?
(The same calculation runs fine on another PC with
identical software and hardware setup)
Regards,
Thomas
