Hello ,
I am running a multithreaded daemon on the 2.4.9 kernel. One of
the threads of the daemon is getting a SIGSEGV. After this when I tried to
find the process state using the command:
$ ps -ef
This just hangs, Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z also does not interrupt this. The
only option I have is to reboot machine.
When I did a strace on the same command, I found out that ps -ef , was
hanging when it tried to read from the /proc/<pid of killed daemon>/*.
Is there any way I can reset the /proc directory without rebooting the
machine. After this , even the killall -9 does not work , even this
command hangs.
Any help will be of real great value. Thank you for the help.
Regards,
Kannan
