Process getting "Killed"!?
 

I am running a process and it is getting killed suddenly and I can see the message "Killed".
It is not giving segmentation fault and core file is not dumped!
So, is it possible to find out why the process is getting killed and signal from which process has killed this process?

Can you post what util is actually getting killed (as then we can possibly advise you to where a log might be)...

It can be any util. What are the chances of it getting "Killed" and what are those chances?

Well the thing is it shouldn't just be getting "Killed" - there must be a reason behind this and thats why it would be good to find a log file...

So if it's any util maybe try looking at /var/log/messages as this stores alot of the daemon Success/Failure information... If theres anything you feel looks perculiar in there post it and we can say what we think might be happening...

I found out what the problem was!:-)
My util is creating a file and it's size is more than what the system stipulated limit. Now I changed it using ulimit and it is working.......
I found out this by accident!
So, my question is, "What are the different circumstances in which a process can get Killed instead of crash"!?

What version of the kernel are you running?

Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
Kernel 2.4.20-8 on an i686

Hmmmm k I wish I could help but after a google search I still can't find anything on this...

Sorry :confused:

After doing google search and not finding the answer only I posted the problem here!
