Netscape runaway process?

[joe_91]

Team:
we had a netscape runaway process on our nclass running 11.0. we are running 4.75 netscape communicator. I was able to kill it only with a -9. Is this a known issue? Is there any workaround to avoid this runaway in future? Please help.

Thanks
Joe.

I have had that happen to me also. You can either use a different browser, Mozilla, lynx, etc. or just take a look before you logout to see that the netscape process is not still present.

Actually the owner of the netscape process was a user. any known patch issues.

Thanks
Joe.

Hello,

I don't know of any patch issues (yet) related to this. I do know that if a user doesn't close their browser when they go home and logs out, then there is an extremely high likelyhood that this behavior will occurr (been there/done that). I will, however, keep a lookout for patches although I don't think this is the case.

Hope this helps

Chris

We actually wrote a script that we cron that checks for stuck netscape scripts

Unfortunatly it does not work via cron right now... only when I fire it off manually.

Perhaps you guys can help me with that too.
