Description of problem: I've got a tcsh that's consuming 100% cpu while doing nothing obvious. Up to this point, I had been starting 20+ jobs in the background, and as each one stopped for keyboard input, I'd type 'fg' and give them some. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tcsh-6.17-11.fc14.i686 How reproducible: Not tried. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start 20 background tasks with a foreach loop foreach n (`cat .alist`) ssh -n $n xlogo > $n & end 2. Get notices about jobs stopping because they need keyboard input, in this case, "host not found in known_hosts file, are you sure?" 3. Type 'fg' for each, type 'yes' Actual results: It worked for most of the jobs, but at the end, I got this: ... ssh -n 137.82.128.93 xlogo The authenticity of host '137.82.128.93 (<no hostip for proxy command>)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 00:12:22:8c:f6:8b:01:b8:43:89:a1:ea:07:50:9c:b7. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '137.82.128.93' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. ^CKilled by signal 2. kirk:/tmp> fg ssh -n 137.82.128.82 xlogo The authenticity of host '137.82.128.82 (<no hostip for proxy command>)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 22:20:ac:e1:f1:9a:2b:a2:d1:ea:02:b2:d0:ad:2f:57. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '137.82.128.82' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. ^CKilled by signal 2. kirk:/tmp> fg ssh -n 137.82.128.107 xlogo fg: No such job. kirk:/tmp> fg ^C^C^Z^\ Expected results: It should 'just work'... Additional info: It looks like the code that keeps track of the background jobs got confused about how many jobs were in the list (due to asynchronous updates as jobs ended), and it went past the end of the list. It may need more error checking to prevent a race condition, I guess.
This could be the same problem that we've seen, and we have a simple patch. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690356
Bob, this issue is not related to bug 690356.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
