in thread Completely Random Stall

Hey BrowserUK, Thank you kindly for your reply, I've looked into it and added it the way you've described. Well the processes that they call end up getting full out exited (with SIGTERM) so I can only assume they do infact clean up afterwards. I'm running fedora core, so ptrace does show me the memory trace, but I'm not sure as to what else I could be using. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Kevin

    Sorry, but I don't know what tools are available on your system for this kind of thing. I know top can show processes and the parent-child releationship, but I've no idea how you would monitor the threads within a process on Linux.

    On win32, this is displayed using the default Task Manager, and several better replacements.

    Maybe someone who does will point you in the right direction.
