stopping 'yes' process completely.
Am having issues rebooting my linux server (ubuntu) because of a process 'yes'. After digging around i found out its used to output a string continually. It uses up all the available cpu so it becomes painfully slow. Anyone who knows how to stop it completely?

Use ps ax to find the PID and kill -9 it. Or does this happen every time you reboot? BR, S -- Sent from my socks®
Thats how i kill it but it happens on any reboot sometimes even apache stops responding completely.
Have you tried top -c -n 1 | grep yes to see what the path of the process is? Maybe you can delete it from there... You could also put the kill command under /etc/init.d/rc.local on bootup if that doesn't help... On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 09:59, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:

Does this happen when system is shutting down or booting up? BR, S -- Sent from my socks®

For a moment there I thot it was the 'yes' and 'no' constitution campaign - judging from the topic [?]
You can edit /etc/init.d/halt...look for the do_stop function and enter your kill command as the first line under the function. Not recommended as it might get wiped out when you do an update but that's the only solution I could get for running stuff before shutdown...jaribu and let me know. @stephen, I also thought that the first time I saw the title...lol On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 11:26, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:

@Job: No I don't tutor but it's stuff I've come across in several years of fiddling with linux since high school :) Glad I could be of help. On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 18:17, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:
