Subject: Hanged/Hunged process in Linux
Date: Wed, 04 May 2005 14:38:48 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1115185128.12535.233322099@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)

I am working on a Linux based system and developing a monitoring process
which shall do the following function

(1) It will detect abnormally terminated application process and will
restart the process group

(2) It will detect a hanged application and will restart it

My query is regarding second point . What should be the proper
definition of a "Hanged Process" in Linux context . I searched on google
regarding it and got the following definitions

(1) A process not accepting any signals and consuming system resources
(2) A process in STOP state
(3) A process in deadlock state

Process conforming to definition 3 will be due to race conditions/bad
programming.Definition 1 does define a proper hanged process but is it
possible to create such a process in LInux as in linux signal delivery
to the process and its handling is assured by the Linux kernel.

Anybody having another definition for a "Hanged process" in Linux
context
