[Solved] Unable to kill process

Hi,
After an upgrade this week I'm having a problem not being able to kill a crashing process. The process that crashes is linuxdcpp. I'm able to close the window and clicking force quit but when i list all processes with ps -A the process is still there. When i try kill, kill -9 the process is still there. even if I log in as root Im not able to kill the process and I'm not able to restart the computer with shutdown or restart. Anybody know how to handle this?
I've tried to reinstall both linuxdcpp and all packages in base with no result. linuxdcpp works fine a cuple of second before crashing. I also tried to downgrade the kernel since I remember that it was one of the packages installed. I have not tried anything else because of that I don't remember what package was installed. Is there some kind of log?

Just to prevent any confusion, -SIGKILL, -KILL, and -9 do the exact same thing (man kill).
Yes I know that.. But I sometimes is better to use -9 and others -SIGKILL.
Just one question: if they do the exact same thing, at which times is it better to use SIGKILL instead of -9?

Unable to kill processes

Occasionally, a process will hang in such a way that I cannot terminate it at all. This seems to have started in Vista and carried over into 7 (Win 7 was a clean install on a blank disk). In XP Pro, process explorer would *always* kill any process
I asked it to. It was great, as it enabled me to run without the need to reboot for months at a time.
In my currently existing problem, there are two processes which will not go away. Normally, when these processes are
not hung, I can easily terminate them with process explorer. These processes are legitimate and part of my normal system use.
I do not have any malware problems. When these processes are hung, I cannot re-launch their parent applications. It is incredibly frustrating to be unable to re-launch the apps without a reboot.
I cannot end them with the task manager, process explorer, taskkill, or pskill.
Process explorer will return an Access Denied error, and I always run process explorer as administrator. I created a batch file for pskill and ran it as administrator, it also reports Access Denied.
Here is the output from taskkill, when run from a command prompt (which was started as administrator):
C:\Users\Kevin>taskkill /f /pid 996
ERROR: The process with PID 996 could not be terminated.
Reason: There is no running instance of the task.
I have granted my user account (already an administrator) and the administrator account the "act as operating system" security policy assignment. This has not helped.
This problem has occasionally manifested in the past, where the only solution was to reboot the computer when the particular process would hang.
How can I properly kill a process without restriction? The frustration level here is off the chart.
Unfortunately and fortunately, I cannot intentionally duplicate the hung process scenario. Fortunately - because it's somewhat infrequent. Unfortunately - because it's much harder to troubleshoot. However, I suspect this is a core
problem in windows 6 and 6.1.
Other responses to this issue I find in these forums range from "It's not like there are a lot of people reporting taskkill failure"(blaming the topic starter's hardware), to completely unrelated walkthroughs for reinstalling various items,
to unanswered. This inability to kill processes in 7 and Vista is reported all over the internet. Please, please, somebody provide a real fix or workaround. :(

"This is always a danger with an open system, there might be 200 million combinations of hardware and software (or more), and if it causes
issues for some, there may be hundreds of millions that wonder whats wrong with your specific combination."
It's a problem with windows that there are so many vendors. Personally, I'd start looking at the process and especially any third party
drivers.

Please assist - strange prstat / unable to kill process (-9)

Hi Guys,
I have some questions and I hope someone here will be able to help. Kindly refer to below for my prstat output.
1. I have this ora10g process taking 8.3 CPU (sftp-server2/1). Just now, our dba attempted to perform a sftp from a remote macine to this machine, however, the process has already been terminated. We tried to perform a kill -9 <pid>, however, the process is still there? Any other way to kill it since rebooting the mission critical server is not an option.
2. From prstat -a, we can see the total RSS by ora10g is 362G. It won't be possible right as our server has only 32 GB of memory. Anyone can advise? Is it normal?

[Solved]No kill binary but I can still kill processes?

Hello!
I just migrated my laptop to EXT4 with the 2009.02-beta4 ISO (beta I know). Now everything seems to work fine except for when I power off my laptop, stopping the network spews out this error: "/etc/rc.d/network: line 62: /bin/kill: No such file or directory [DONE]".
I checked /bin/ and sure enough there was no kill there so I ran 'which kill' and it came out empty as well. The only place I could find my kill was at /usr/lib/klibc/bin/kill which seems a bit odd, at least to me. Now it still shuts down and all and I _can_ kill processes with the kill command but I'm curious why this happened. I can't find anything about this 'bug' (if it even is one) on the bugtracker so, anyone know what's up with this?

Ah, alright so I guess bash offers this feature as well then. Installing procps did the trick, thanks.

Unable to Kill the Consolidation task for HFM application

User is unable to kill the Consolidation task in HFM application. Consolidation process which usually takes 2 mins has been showing status as running @79% since 4-6 hrs. User ID is has the provisioning manager, lock Data and unlock data provisions in Shared Services. The stop task button in the Running Tasks list is not enabled . Our Support team has advanced user access which is not also able to stop the task. Please note Admin access is restricted and not allowed for such tasks.

I would check the HFM Log to see if you find anything referring to locked / blocked records.
If your HFM app is killed in the middle of consolidating or performing other activities that requires it to 'lock' a segment of memory in the database, that 'lock' is still held on those data points when the application restarts.
If you then try to perform another consolidation and it hits one of those locked data points, it will sit there for a very long amount of time waiting for the 'lock' to clear.
I forget the exact error message that you will find in the log AND I forget the timeout period; however, it sucks having to wait through that.
The other possibility that comes to mind is that the consolidation really aborted and the status didn't update. (once again check the logs)

Unable to kill the concurrent program

Hi
I have two cocnurrent programs say TEST_PROG1, TEST_PROG2.
if i am submitting TEST_PROG1 then oracle session id and oracle process id are popluating in fnd_concurrent_requests table
where as if iam doing the same with TEST_PROG2 then oracle session id and oracle process id are populating as null.
Is there any configuration problem with the second problem?
And if i amtrying to kill the request of TEST_PROG2, Using the below query
SELECT s.SID,
s.serial#,s.audsid,r.oracle_session_id
FROM fnd_concurrent_requests r,
gv$session s
WHERE 1 =1
AND r.request_id = 2998345;
AND r.oracle_session_id = s.audsid(+);
AND r.request_date > TRUNC(SYSDATE-1)
AND r.status_code NOT IN ('C','E','D','X');
which is returning null .But iam using serial#, audsid to kill the session
using
l_sql := 'alter system kill session '''|| l_sid || ','||l_serial_number||'''';
but iam unable to kill the session as thwy are getting null from the above sql.
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks
Satya

HI
Followed the link shared and in one of your replied i found the below
I am not sure why there are no values stored in FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS table (for some columns) when you submit such reports, and I believe if this is resolved you will be able to see the trace files generated. So, is it possible to register any of these custom reports in one of the standard responsibilities and see if the values in the table are populated and/or the trace file get generated then?
I have added my concurrent program to US HRMS Reports & Processes request group. But still the same problem
Thanks

App Store - Your request is temporarily unable to be processed

Hey,
when trying to install two apps I got to the point where APP store says "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed." The previous message before that is to accept the new terms and conditions. I say yes and then this is what happens. Tried logging out and in - not working.
Any tips?

Essbase 11.1.1.3 - Unable to spawn process for application

Anyone know how to solve the problem with the error message "Unable to spawn process for application" when trying to create a BSO-application in a newly installed 11.1.1.3 installation.

Hi Nelson,
Did you try increasing the Heap size for EAS ? Try the following and check if you still get the error -
increase the Java heap settings in the EAS script on a Unix platform that was configured using the automatic deployment method, do the following:
1. Navigate to the $HYPERION_HOME/deployments/{appserver}/bin directory.
2. Edit the setCustomParamseas.sh(.bat) script.
3. Modify or add the -Xms and -Xmx settings to the JAVA_OPTIONS variable. For example:
+JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -DComponentName=eas -DcomponentId=1e3bf92b2d9bb0493bcd3380127b0ca49ee7f50 -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=0 -DHYPERION_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion -Dhyperion.home=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion -DEAS_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/products/Essbase/eas -DESS_ES_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/products/Essbase/eas/server -DEAS_LOG_LEVEL=5000 -DEAS_LOG_LOCATION=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/logs/eas/easserver.log -DCLIENT_SERVER_DIFF_MC=true -Dweblogic.j2ee.application.tmpDir=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/deployments/temp -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/tmp ${JAVA_OPTIONS} "+
+*Note: For Tomcat deployments, the setting to modify is JAVA_OPTS:*+
+*JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m*+
4. Stop and restart EAS for the setting to take effect.
Hope it helps....

Thanks!

I have the same problem. Oracle support has been working (waiting?) on this since May-2009, without real progress.
The Auto SQL Tuning task is deamed to be hung about thrice a week, and from time to time, even PMON is shot down, causing the instance to crash immediately:

Error: 1056603 Unable to spawn process for application [AppName]

Hi,
After a fresh installation of Essbase Server (11.1.1.4), I'm experiencing the following error when attempting to perform basically any action on any Application (Start, Stop, Delete) through EAS:
*Error: 1056603 Unable to spawn process for application [Demo]. Please ensure that adequate memory is available.*
System memory seems abundant at around 5% usage with all relevant services started, but I even doubled it (since it's a VM) to 16Gb just to make sure, the issue persists.
Having a look at the Essbase server log, I didn't find any additional info that could be helpful:

Kill processes (using Javascript) on a 64-bits machine (Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1)

Hi everyone. I have a simple VBScript sample that kills a process by name. It works fine on every OS, X86 and 64 bits :
---------------------------kill process sample----------------------------------------
Set wsh = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
wsh.Run "calc.exe",1
Set Processes = GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_Process")
For each Process in Processes
Select Case LCase(Process.Name)
Case "calc.exe"
Process.Terminate(1)
I tried the "for" loop, the "forEach" loop and "switch" in javascript but none of them work like in VBScript.
Could anyone help me converting this script sample to javascript, since VBScript became obsolete and God knows whether it will be available for HTA applications and Windows Script Host files in the near future.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Jvr, you said :
"What you have done is one of the reasons why support for ActiveX is being dropped. By allowing unsafe controls you have removed the most important security restriction.
I highly recommend that you spend some time learning Windows but not from web sites or from people who are just hackers.
If you are going to alter IE you might as well just use an HTA. It doesn't reduce security and is much easier to use.
You are trying to do what a lot of new and untrained people try. You are trying to reinvent Windows but mostly because you do not have fundamental technical training. Get the training and you will not be led down these pointless paths.
NTVDM is not CMD.EXE. NTVDM is used to emulate a 16 bit DOS environment. It is not required for NT or for CMD.EXE. It is disabled by default on all modern versions of Windows. 16 bit applications can be a security issue and
do make managing Windows harder."
One of the best features of IE might be ActiveX technology. I could be wrong, but some controls are still highly used by websites, and a lot of softwares help rely on HHCTRL ActiveX. I don´t see it *currently* being dropped.
Could be in the future, but not only IE uses Activex, a lot of programs make use of them, not to mention popular ones like Word, Excel.
My friend, I use Windows for more than a decade, don´t tell me what I have to learn or not. You´ve got to be kidding because I know a lot but of course I am humble to admit I ´don´t know everything and can at times have doubts, other people can help
just like I could help when someone has a doubt on something I know. Also I dont know why you are talking about hackers. As far as I know they *must* know the OS in order to exploit stuff and run their malicious code, not only know how to exploit general vulnerabilities,
so I bet the real hackers have a lot to teach.
I am not untrained, sorry but you must be high since you are not reading my posts correctly. I said I altered security setting for the *INTRANET ZONE*, not Internet, and also set the "Websites in less privileged zones can navigate to thiz zone" to deny.
And if you are an expert you must know the intranet zone is disabled by default, which is my case, but if you add an IP address or website, then it will be enabled *only* for them. Furthermore an attacker would need to know what is the IP address I added and
would need to bypass the cross site scripting filter and also the setting above that I disabled.
Again, you´ve gotta be high. I never said CMD=NTVDM. NTVDM just emulates a 16 bits program which is Command.com, I said in the other post, didn´t you read?
And you can´t tell if MSHTA, ActiveX and WSH will be totally removed from Windows in the future, it is only a possibility. They are useful. 16 bits apps are not but are still supported on 32-bits Windows. Check out on a 32-bits system, and tell me if
you found some 16-bits apps including C:\windows\system32\command.com.
Hope now you understood what I have written.
cheers.

HT2731 your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later

Let's see if anyone has any ideas here. When I went to create an account on iTunes, I can get all the way to the credit card screen and then when we click "done" and pop up window comes up and says "your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later". This message comes up last 2 days.
Thanks for any help!

The same thing has been happening to me on my iPad and my MacBook Pro - I try to purchase and get an error on my MacBook (Error 5002) while on the iPad, I get the recurring request to "confirm" My purchase that never completes. This is making me crazy!

"Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later" iTunes Store

I have a user with a new iPad2, who has set up an iTunes account. It takes her username and password, which it recognizes (it fails if she fat-fingers it). Then it says that it is a new account, and offers her the terms and conditions which she agrees to, and then it takes her to the screen asking for her personal info and credit card info, which she fills in. Then it pops up a message from the iTunes Store that says "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later."
She has tried this multiple times over the past week, same error each time. This morning, just to vary things a bit, we tried logging in to her account in iTunes on her iMac. (If nothing else, a real keyboard and mouse is less painful...) Exactly the same behavior -- it clearly knows who she is, bringing up address information, etc. when she puts in the right username and password. But it will not complete the signup with the iTunes store, so she cannot get applications (even free ones) downloaded on to the iPad.
If I sign in with my appleID and password (set up years ago, and with iTunes gift card credit on it) it simply takes it and works -- but not on her credentials.

Found this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3603097?start=0&tstart=0 which was really helpful. The problem is that we were trying to change this person's credit card associated with the AppleID from her personal card to her company credit card. Going to http://store.apple.com/us/account/home and trying to Edit the credit card information at least got us to a more useful error message -- it complained about the credit card billing address.
So we went to Plan B, and created a new appleID for her, following these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 to get her an appleID without a credit card. It then happily completed the registration process, and now she can download free apps.
When she needs to buy an app, I'll probably be back. (Sheesh, apple, this should NOT be this hard to give you money!!!)

Error when compiling firefox...Out of memory: Kill process 6763

I'm trying to compile the firefox version 15 as both 16.0.1 and I always get the same error, which I think leaves me with no ram even though I have 8 gigs, i try it with 8 gigs of swap but does exactly the same, here are all the facts about this problem, the only thing I have not tried is to change the compiler version, what do you think? this is a clear linkage error where the system breaks down after running out of physical memory...

How to kill process/Actavity in SAP ?

How to kill process/Actavity in SAP ?

The core file contains the memory state of the work process at the point it was terminated. You could use it for debugging the work process if you had access to the kernel source code, which you don't unless you are SAP. For most people, then, the core file is of no interest and just takes up space in the operating system's file system. Using "cancel without core" is the thing to do.
That said, sometimes I find "cancel without core" doesn't actually work but "cancel with core" does. I always try without core first, but occasionally have to resort to with core. If you do cancel with core, make sure to go and delete the core file afterwards to avoid the file system filling up. Work process core files can be large. You'll find it in a directory/folder here - /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00/work (substitute DVEBMGS00 as appropriate).
