Does this happened everytime you run it or just that one time ? If just that one time, I would say someone with superuser capabilities must have killed your process while it is running.

Hi,

Try making a copy of the executable to another name and try. Does it still get killed?

If it does not, then there is something maliciously done based on the name of the executable e.g. a cron job that is killing this process at detection.

If it gets killed, do you get a core dump? If you do, you can perform file core to see what was the system call that caused the executable to crash.

# file core

Hope this helps. Regards.
