Hello,
I've come to an interesting problem. I can't run any programs,
but
I my system is still running, 15 days. This is what I did:
cp /bin/ls ~/bin; gzip ~/bin/ls
~/bin/ls.gz
---nothing happens---
C-c
---nothing happens, but I can't switch screens now---
So I login from another machine,
ps -x
kill <pid>
---nothing happens---
C-c
---nothing happens, and I can't use the terminal anymore--
So I login again via telnet
kill -9 <pid>
It works, both unless terminal are recovered.
now I can't run any new programs. apache is still running, I've
still got irc, but no new processes. Is there anything I can do
to get the exec server working again without rebooting?
