- In response to gaukur@rhi.hi.is whose fglgo eats cpu:
- We have similar problem frequently on our Unisys 5000, runniing sql SE 2.10G
- where a user is running a report script which is waitng for input from the
- terminal (accepting input before running the report). If our off-brand LAN
- disconnects them, or the disconnects from it without first deleting(CANCEL) our
- of the prompt, the sql process becomes a child of PID #1 and takes on a life
- of its own, eating memory til we run out. When we do a ps -efl and look in
- the SIZE column it gets as big as our kernal tuning will allow, which is too
- much for anything else to run. System halts. Kernal is tuned that way for
- various nightime process which need it. I was just hoping our soon-to-be-
- installed 4.0 would repair the problem! Meanwhile, we have a scripts that runs
- from cron every 5 minutes and kills any process bigger than XXXX.
- Does anyone else have SQL/SE that does this? Is 4.0 better?
