killing dead processes
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 04 Jan '03

04 Jan '03

hi Our server seems to have run into a problem ... there's a dead process with an RSS of 2GB, and it refuses to die no matter what! The swap is down to zero, the machine is thrashing, but we can't afford to restart! What do I do?

more module loading problems at startup
by R.W.A.Tollenaar 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Hello all, I have a problem. I have updated (recompiled and installed) kernel to 2.4.20. It runs perfectly but for one thing: the modules I have compiled to load cannot be found, not during booting and also not by YAST. Fortunately there seems to be only one which I am trying to load and which can no longer be loaded and that is the sound driver. On attempting to use YAST to reinstall it, YAST cannot find the appropriate driver. I have done the following make oldconfig (with xconfig) make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make module_install cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz cp System.map /boot dirctory (Actually Suse distribution uses System.map-2.4.19-4GB so tried System.map, System.map-2.4.20 and even copying System.map of the new kernel to System.map-2.4.19-GB). nothing helps. Then I even did mkinitrd which did help on the loading of the reiserfs but that problem I had already solved earlier by compiling the reiserfs into the kernel. I need this new kernel, please help:( Greetings, Roland Tollenaar.

How to check whether ppp0 is active
by Vinod 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Hi friends, When I connect to net through a modem, I can check whether ppp0 is active or not using ifconfig command so that it will list the status of ppp0. My problem is I had set a command in crontab as follows. lynx -dump www.lcnet.com/update.php (A module to update the web mysql database) Above script has to work and update only if ppp0 is active. How can I check whether ppp0 is active (A script has to check and then if the status is true, update.php module has to execute). Please suggest me how to go about. I had put six to seven commands in a batch file and the batch file name is given in crontab. I am using wvdialer to connect to net and it redials if connection disconnect. and if I specify the dialing command "wvdial redial" in the batchfile, then the subsequent command in the batch file are not executing. Regards, Vinod.

[ILUG-BOM]Linux swap not working.
by The Linuxer 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hello, I use a P4 based machine running SuSE Linux 8.0. I have a 20 GB Hard Disk & 256 MB RDRAM. At the time of installation, I reserved around 500 MB space for the /swap directory. As intended, it should share memory with the Linux Swap space. The problem is that, when I issue the top command, it shows that used swap space is zero & my Physical Memory is 70% used. I think it's pretty high since I don't use any software which is heavy on system requirments. I tried the swapon command but in vain. Even eding the /etc/fstab file didn't help. Is there any way to force swapping of memory ?? Please enlighten .... Thanx in advance ... Bhaskar Ghose [The Linuxer] ================== Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question. NO (or Linux) is the answer. ~thelinuxer(a)hotmail.com~ _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail&xAPID=42&PS=47575&PI=7324&DI=74… http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg&HL=1216hotmailtaglines_smartspamp…
