Java process take 100% cpu

Hello,
I have a webapp running on Tomcat 5.0.28/RHEL 3.0. After some time (approximatively 1 hour), a java process take 100% cpu load and never stop, but the application do nothing.
Some detail on my configuration :
Distribution : Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (updated)
Kernel 2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp
Glibc 2.3.2-95.37
JVM : JRockit 1.4.2.08 (the last one)
Tomcat : 5.0.28
Server : 2*Xeon 3GHz HT, 2Go RAM
JVM param : -Xmx:256m -Xms:256m
Thanks for your answers ...

Try taking thread dump (send a SIGQUIT to JRockit using "kill"). If you
get a thread dump, the VM is alive, and it's probably your java program
that's broken. In that case, make a JRA recording to see what's happening:
http://e-docs.bea.com/jrockit/docs142/usingJRA/jra.html
The methods pane is probably what you're looking for.
If you don't get any thread dump when sending a SIGQUIT to JRockit,
come back here.

WindowServer process takes 100% CPU

PowerBook G4 1,5 Ghz, 1GB RAM Leopard 10.5.5.
Since i installed last Leopard Update i got WindowServer using 100% from time to time. No other operations can be done, the notebook is unusable. To resolve the issue i have to rebbot the machine...
Can anyone tell me if it is a known bug or not?

I have the exact same problem; the computer continues to run, I can move windows, but everything else is frozen, the computer is unresponsive and the only solution is a force power off reboot.
The symptoms are as described: windowsserver starts using 99.8% of CPU and simply won't let go of the CPU. I will look into the CoolIris connection, as I have it loaded, but I use Firefox and not Safari.
No one seems to have the solution, but it is comforting to know that I am not the only one having the issue.
APPLE: Please take note, this is a OS bug that needs to be fixed.

Java process consuming 100% CPU

I have two JVM running on my Application tier and both of them consuming 50% each of CPY resources. I searched and found some inactive sessions under them. Even after release those inactive sessions nothing has come down. Still 100% is there. Is there anything else I can check

Hi,
Can you confirm your version of JDK and ATG patchlevel ? I've seen this as a problem which was partially addressed by moving to ATG RUP 5.

Zenity takes 100% CPU Time

When I run as root or normal User
zenity --notification --text="test"
The zenity process takes 100% Cpu time
System:
Arch 32bit gnome 2.22
Last edited by brickwedde.eu (2008-05-06 11:26:00)

I GOT IT... I think.
zenity --notification actually calls libnotify! I was trying out a script and suddenly realized something, because by chance dbus decided to take a break. Take a look at these two code fragments.
$ zenity --info --text "hello"
$ _
$ zenity --notification --text "hello"
libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-jmMdFXbznS: Connection refused
<hang>
<100% CPU usage>
I've figured out why: it's basic socket programming gone wrong. The notification part of zenity calls libnotify, tries to connect to libnotify's socket, and fails, using 100% CPU waiting for the connection to... end a stream that never started.
A possible solution is to just use notify-send.

Labview Loop Takes 100% cpu

Hello,
I'm wondering the best way to send a serial command when a button is pressed. Right now I have a while loop that checks if the button is pressed each time. If is is, it sends the serial command and adds the response to a text box via a shift register. If not, the original text box info is passed to the shift register. However, this loop takes 100% cpu (ok, only one core at 100% so technically %50), and I think its because the text box is getting overwriten every cycle. However, I'm not sure how else to do it. Attached is a print screen, let me know if you would like the file.
Thanks,
Eric
Solved!

An event structure is the best way. The next best way is to simply put in a wait in the loop.

Java Process Consuming 100% of Server CPU

Hi,
We have a new instance of CQ5 (version 5.4) running on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server. For some reason, which we can't determine, after a period of time a Java process on the system begins to consume 100% of the CPU and the system becomes totally unresponsive. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix for this?
RK

Does the it eventually recover on it's own? It's possible that the JVM is doing full garbage collection. How big is your max heap size? I suggest to add some garbage collection debugging in the JVM_OPTS to see if it is Java's garbage collection or not. Might as well check the heap too, to see if it's running our of memory.
Example;
-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -Xloggc:/tmp/gc.log -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/tmp

Java Process with High CPU

I have a java process running on HP-UX with a 1.4.2 JVM. This program is using some third-party code (quartz) to act as a batch scheduler similar to cron. When running in production, the process runs fine for several days and then starts maxing out the CPU. The server has 8 cpu's and the last time the problem occured, 4 of the cpu's were 100% in use with this process.
I've tried sending a "kill -3 pid" but I can't seem to get a thread dump. I've eventually gotten some 700Meg core files. Is there anyway to use these core files to tell me what is going on?
Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this problem? We've used some profilers but we can't duplicate the problem on test servers so we aren't learning anything new.
Thanks,
Brian

Try pstack to read the stacks of the threads in the process.
Try pldd to determine the shared libraries in the process then
use truss to trace calls in any of these libraries to determine where
the cycles are being spent.

in addition you might want to trace the session to find out what it is waiting for. In 10g you can use the DBMS_MONITOR package to enable the tracing, and then use the "tkprof" utility as outlined in the article to get the trace file generated analyzed.
You can also use the V$SESSION view (BLOCKING_SESSION_STATUS, BLOCKING_SESSION, BLOCKING_INSTANCE) to find out if the session is blocked for any reason, although it shouldn't consume CPU in that case.

Reader 9.1 (Linux) takes 100% CPU

Initially when starting Adobe Reader and opening a document everything is fine. But after a few minutes Reader takes up to 100% CPU. This also happens when starting Adobe Reader without opening a document.
It's Adobe Reader 9.1 (AdobeReader_enu-9.1.0-1.i486) on Fedora 10 (i386)

Hello there,
I can reproduce the same issue. I just start acroread (without any options or files), wait some time and suddenly acroread starts to use one whole cpu. Here some information about the system:
> cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 5.2 (Final)
> uname -a

> acroread -v
9.1.0
I also tried the trick with
> ACRO_DISABLE_FONT_CONFIG=1 acroread
but it didn't change anything.
Do you got some ideas how I can track down this problem? I tried to use
> acroread -DEBUG
but here absolutely nothing happened, just with
> acroread -DEBUG acroread
the reader started and shows
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/Annots.api ... [dlopen success for Annots.api, handle = 0xbf32f68]
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/EScript.api ... [dlopen success for EScript.api, handle = 0xca14620]
after some minutes the next plugin info occured:

and some minutes later, the acroread process started to use the whole cpu...
If I start acroread and try to trace the programm, at first the output looks like:

Doc2text process using 100% cpu for way too long

I've run into this issue before, and have never received a satisfactory resolution.
When we publish certain PDF documents via collab to the KD, the doc2text process on our portal servers (also our API servers) spin up to 100% CPU for about 90 seconds. This causes the publish from collab to fail, so we resort to directly uploading the file to the KD via content upload.
1) Why is doc2text running on our portal servers in the first place? Is this a result of the portal server or api service? If i move the API service off to another machine, will that remove this CPU hog from our front end servers?
2) Has anyone seen this before, or found a way around it? Is there a newer version of doc2text in 10gR3 that isn't so terrible?
I'm preparing to move to 1-cpu virtuals in our new environment so any process that takes up 100% of the CPU is going to kill performance.

Doc2text is native search client functionality used by portal, automation, ws, collab, publisher, etc. The portal components use it when indexing content to search server. It is installed seperately with each portal component. If you have multiple portal components installed on the same box, the ones that use Doc2text will share it from the common folder where it is located. Doc2text uses different libraries for the purpose of raw text extraction and processing, the processed information being sent in a proprietary format to the search server.
Doc2text is a processor heavy component as it needs to execute intensives tasks necessary to parse and extract raw data from such file formats as Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Some files may be more complex to extract data from and take longer for this task to complete.
The best way to increase performance would be to install the various portal components onto their own machines. For example not installing portal and automation on seperate servers. This way when you run a crawler job that imports files, the running of doc2text will not use cpu cycles on the portal web server.

Mail Can't Open & com.apple.internetaccount process hogging 100% CPU

Desperately seeking answers after Mavericks install..
My mail crashed and now won't open at all. I've tried most (if not all) the suggestions posted by others. Haven't tried deleting and reinstalling mail yet, as this will be my last resort since I have a work account in it that is not on IMAP.
And another troubling issue is my macbook's fan is going crazy and feels like its overheating.
Looking at "Activity Monitor" I see a process "com.apple.internetaccounts" that is taking 100% CPU and 1.6GB of memory!!
No idea what this process is and can't seem to quit it.
PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks in advance

@Drewli77 yup that's it. When Mail opened I chose Google/Gmail and let Mail set the account up for me.
Before doing that I had noticed com.apple.internetaccounts hogging the CPU. I went into System Preferences > Internet Accounts, waited 10 minutes for the spinning ball to stop, then deleted the Google account in there. There was only one Google account in there, despite the fact that I have four Google accounts set up in Mac Mail. Anyway this one account seemed to be what was slowing down that preference pane. After deleting Accounts.plist I re-added my accounts in Mail, which added them to the Internet Accounts preference pane, but now that preference pane (and Mail) open just fine without hogging resources.
What annoys me is the fact that hitting Delete on a message sends it to Trash, which in Mavericks corresponds to Gmail's Trash, meaning it gets purged every month (regardless of the setting you choose in Mac Mail). I've been using Option-Delete to Archive it, but I wish I could just use Delete for that, since I always Archive and rarely Trash messages. I would set another folder to be used for Trash, but sadly, all of the options under Mailbox > "Use this mailbox for" are greyed out.

Discoveryd process uses 100% CPU - Safari Can't find the server

Hello
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I lose connection to the internet 2 or 3 times a day. (Outlook goes offline at the same time)
This is with a wired connection. (Wi-Fi is turned off)
Safari gives me the "Safari Can't Find the Server" message.
Restarting the computer solves the issue temporarily.
While I'm unable to connect to the internet, Activity Monitor shows a process named "discoveryd" that uses 100% CPU.
Force quitting this process gives me back access to the internet instantly. Unfortunately, I suffered a kernel panic (auto restart) a few minutes after force quitting discoveryd. I'm not 100% sure those 2 are related but it would be an odd coincidence as I never experienced had a single kernel on that system. Haven't tried force quitting that process since.
I'm using this iMac in a work environment. (Connected to a windows file server and exchange)
This issue has been happening 2-3 times a day since the day I upgraded to Yosemite.
Any pointers on what could fix this issue ?
Thanks

Two nalagent.exe processes w/ 100% cpu on App Launcher close

Hello. We are wondering if nalagent.exe is supposed to be running twice as it does not appear to be this way on all workstations. One nalagent.exe process is running under NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, and the other nalagent.exe process is running under the username.
Reason we are asking is because the one running under the username consumes 100% cpu immediately after closing the Application Launcher Window running on the desktop. Upon closing the Application Launcher, the AUTHORITY\SYSTEM nalagent.exe process closes, and the user nalagent.exe process remains and instantly spikes to 100% indefinitely (unless you kill the process in the task manager).
Using Sysinternals Process Monitor reveals that nalagent.exe is constantly scanning for the following nonexistent registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NetWare\NAL\1.0\Process Management]. These registry lookups appear to be what is causing the 100% cpu usage, but why? Creating the Process Management key does not eliminate the lookups.
This issue is possibly related to another 100% cpu bug we experienced with a "save icons" feature being stored under the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NetWare\NAL\1.0\Links] registry key. We followed the suggestion of deleting the Links key on logon in the following post and this seems to prevent nalagent.exe from automatically starting up at 100% cpu. Our current issue is only when closing the Application Launcher which starts the 100% cpu usage.

We have considered preventing the Application Launcher from being closed but there appears to be an underlying problem we would like to understand further. Thank you for any information.

System unresponsive because WindowServer process takes 80+% CPU

Hi all,
Recently i've been experiencing the following problem: while (f.e.) using Firefox 3.0.1 it regularly happens that my system becomes completely unresponsive.
As this started happening on a regular basis i've kept activity monitor on-screen, and noticed that the WindowServer process takes 80+ (sometimes 90+) % of the available CPU power. The duration of this unresponsiveness varies between a couple of seconds to over 1 minute ...
Any suggestions with regards to potential troubleshooting steps ?

Hi, How much free space do you have on what size drive?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.
Besides, once you really, really need it... you can't install it!

Java process take 100% cpu
