Hi,
I've noticed that ps -aux does not show all the processes that we
can see with Task Manager. I can imagine that we cannot see some
completely native processes, but it is also the case for some processes
launched via cygwin !
Is there a reason for that behaviour ? Is there a workaround ?
I'm on W2k, Cygwin 1.3.17.
Here are some precisions about my situation:
A few days ago, I posted about the /bin/rm -rf problem with locked
files that makes the rm take 100% of the CPU. As far as I can see,
things are happening like:
- a first process works in a directory
- I loose the contact with that process (mostly because something was
wrong), but it is still alive
- a second process (second execution of my tool) tries to remove the
directory with /bin/rm -rf and goes into an infinite loop, taking 100%
of CPU
- I can't even kill the first process as I cannot see it with ps !
Note: I use to connect to the machine with sshd, so I cannot launch Task
Manager...
I have replaced all my rm -rf with chmod -Rf +w and rm -r, but it
does not fix my problem as I can no more work on the same directory: it
is locked :-(
Hints are welcome...
Gael.
