Subject: "Killed" Message On Linux (Running From BASH)
Message-Id: <DMCdnQTIHO-jE-fenZ2dnUVZ_sGdnZ2d@comcast.com>
I've tried Googling this and get a high noise-to-signal ratio.
I'm running Perl scripts on Linux (Debian, Sarge), from the command line (in
bash), and I get a "Killed" message. I can't find enough to verify this is
coming from Perl or bash or where. Sometimes the program runs fine,
sometimes it doesn't. When I run it with one data file that didn't work
before, it runs just fine the 2nd time. The only module I'm using that
isn't mine is Term::VT102, and I've grep'ed and found NO occurance of the
word "Killed".
I'm used to getting crashes that tell me the line numbers and errors, but
not just a simple "Killed."
At the least, I'd like to know what is issuing this "Killed" message (is
this what happens when another program kills a Perl script?), or what could
be causing this.
Thanks for any help!
Hal

Some shells (e.g., bash) print this message if a process dies due to
receiving a SIGKILL. Try this:
In xterm 1, run:
sleep 30
In xterm 2, run:
killall -9 sleep
You'll probably see the message "Killed" in xterm 1. I'm not sure what
would be causing this -- it is unlikely that something is sending
spontaneous KILL signals to your processes, unless (a) you're running
extremely low on memory and (b) the Linux OOM killer kills processes in
this fashion.

Well, I've just given up doing this programmatically.
I've taken a closer look at the naming conventions.
One method I thought off was to split the name from the numbers.
But I've come across files that do not have numbers just after the client's name.
The client name always comes on the left of the filename, but the rest of the filename is just too
'gibberish'.
Not gonna happen. At least not until computers are capable of AI.
Thx for the help anyways.
My coy will just have to hire temp staff to clean up this mess.
Btw, we have 400k files.
So good luck on the manual process.

Interesting attitude.

I am not sure why one would use Perl for this task. There is a regression
module which I have used in the past, and could be used to compute the
local weighted regressions at each point.

I would be much more inclined to use a numeric computation package for
this, say, S-Plus (or R), MatLab (or Octave), Mathematica, Gauss, SAS, or
even use some Fortran code from netlib:
