Public bug reported: I used mogrify to scale a bunch of images on an SD card. The command I used was:
mogrify -monitor -scale 800 <VERY long file list> "ps aux | grep mogrify" reports: sean 25292 59.0 0.0 17684 1328 ? R Feb06 5954:27 mogrify -monitor -scale 800 <VERY long file list> Neither of the following has any effect, with or without root privileges kill -9 25292 killall -KILL mogrify It uses 99% (system) of the CPU consistently. I tried using "strace" on it, but strace produces no output and can subsequently be killed only by SIGKILL. Ubuntu Version: Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 I assume I forgot to unmount the SD card, but I expected the process to be killed anyway, which it was not. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Process immune to SIGKILL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
