We have a recurring problem in our crash analysis system, where remote users get disconnected and crash starts endlessly looping trying to write to stdout. An strace of a recent instance is looping on: write(1, " JIFFIES\n", 10) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) but that isn't always the output string. this is a problem in out shared environment because the orphaned crash tasks eat up the CPUs, and we don't have the privilege to kill each others tasks. thanks, --Guy -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
