I am working on a Linux based system and developing a monitoring process which shall do the following function (1) It will detect abnormally terminated application process and will restart the process group (2) It will detect a hanged application and will restart it My query is regarding second point . What should be the proper definition of a "Hanged Process" in Linux context . I searched on google regarding it and got the following definitions (1) A process not accepting any signals and consuming system resources (2) A process in STOP state (3) A process in deadlock state Process conforming to definition 3 will be due to race conditions/bad programming.Definition 1 does define a proper hanged process but is it possible to create such a process in LInux as in linux signal delivery to the process and its handling is assured by the Linux kernel. Anybody having another definition for a "Hanged process" in Linux context Deepak Gaur - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
