one process occupying the whole cpu
At 16.10 this afternoon I started a process via a shell script which
is nso resource-hungry
that absolutely nothing else on the computer (amd64 laptop, cpu with
two cores) got done .
Even the clock stands frozen at 16.10 for many hours!
I thought that with a modern, time-sharing OS like linux that would not be
possible! but that is obviously wrong.
¿Is it possible to change some configuration file or something to
prevent that ever happening again?
(I know, I sjold have icluded some nice in that shell script, but
that is easy to forget .
But anyhow, tim e-sharing should garantee some time to all processes!
(In the script, I am loopìng over the about 3700 tar.gz files in one
directory. For e ach of them, I am spawning a
sub-shell (using &) doing some installation wo rk).
