| MFen | SpamapS: ok, at least it's known. when you say "no way".. there is at least one way, which is to reboot. anything i can do short of that? where are pids actually "remembered"? | 03:50 |
|---|---|---|
| SpamapS | MFen: yeah, you can exhaust pid space | 03:59 |
| SpamapS | MFen: they're in RAM | 03:59 |
| MFen | in init i assume | 03:59 |
| SpamapS | yeah | 04:00 |
| MFen | need an initctl cleanup or something | 04:00 |
| SpamapS | MFen: there's a script attached to the bug which will loop fork/wait until the desired pid appears, then lets upstart kill it | 04:00 |
| MFen | no reason for upstart to track a pid that doesn't exist | 04:00 |
| SpamapS | Yeah I agree | 04:00 |
| MFen | oh heh, that's a clever bit of evil | 04:00 |
| SpamapS | its by far the highest "Heat" bug on the tracker | 04:00 |
| SpamapS | bug 406397 | 04:01 |
| MFen | ty | 04:01 |
| SpamapS | MFen: add yourself as affected. Its basically a vote for what gets worked on by jodh next :) | 04:01 |
| SpamapS | 51 affected so far | 04:01 |
| MFen | will do | 04:01 |
| SpamapS | and its been known for 3+ years | 04:01 |
| SpamapS | MFen: the only reason it hasn't received love is we keep thinking ther will be a move away from ptrace to something less weird | 04:02 |
| SpamapS | but then something else comes up.. | 04:02 |
| SpamapS | like logging, or the need to re-exec without forgetting, ironically, all the pids | 04:02 |
| MFen | just check every 10 loops to see if all the pids still exist, and remove the ones that don't. the solution doesn't need to be fancy | 04:04 |
| MFen | 52 | 04:04 |
| MFen | wish you could +1 comments on bug trackers. or at least on launchpad | 04:07 |
| SpamapS | MFen: I agree, or just check all the pids with kill -0 when reload-configuration is asked for | 06:16 |
