CPU TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU %CPU COMMAND
16 ? 22878 root 241 20 17696K 4388K run 7583:00 97.77 97.60 samx
Plus this output shows no other sam processes:
/root)# ps -ef | grep sam
root 10179 1 0 Apr 13 ? 1:23 /usr/sam/lbin/samd
root 22878 1 255 Apr 21 ? 7580:25 samx -K 22874 /usr/sam/lib/%L/fal.ui
Why is samx bottling up one of my CPUs?
Can I safely kill this even though the parent PID is 1?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Is samx safe to kill?
Looks like a lost session as there is no tty associated with it.
Do you have TUSC installed if so:-
tusc 22878 and see what it is doing.
Also have a look at PID 22874 and see what that is.

Re: Is samx safe to kill?
Sounds like SAM didn't exit correctly - make sure you have recent patches applied....

Re: Is samx safe to kill?
According to the tusc output it looks as if PID 22878(samx) is in an error loop:
tusc 22878 | more
( Attached to process 22878 ("samx -K 22874 /usr/sam/lib/%L/fal.ui") [32-bit] )
read(-1, 0x7aea0c08, 256) ............................................................................ [running]
read(-1, 0x7aea0c08, 256) ............................................................................ ERR#9 EBADF
read(-1, 0x7aea0c08, 256) ............................................................................ ERR#9 EBADF
read(-1, 0x7aea0c08, 256) ............................................................................ ERR#9 EBADF
read(-1, 0x7aea0c08, 256) ............................................................................ ERR#9 EBADF
read(-1, 0x7aea0c08, 256) ............................................................................ ERR#9 EBADF
etc.....
It looks like a definate kill candidate.

Re: Is samx safe to kill?
Great advice on using tusc.
Will do on the patch checks.
Points assigned.
Thanks again.
