Hello everyone,

I am running a script in my linux system, but after some times it do not respond and gives no error. I think there is a dead lock.
Can you plz help me how to find the deadlock and then to remove it.

1. post the script using code tags https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...do=bbcode#code

2. to remove it

Code:

ps -ef|grep script_name_here

which should return a line like

Code:

chris     3860     1  5 08:38 ?        00:33:26 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox

use the kill cmd on the process id, which is the first number eg

Code:

kill 3860

If it still won't die, try

Code:

kill -9 3860

if it was a bash script you can simply insert set -vx at the beginning and look at the output. You will see the last statement...
