Checking for Other Running Processes

Other processes can also cause problems. For example, you might have unnecessary processes still running.

You should check for orphaned Java processes or executables, which may be consuming available memory. Use the ps command, as shown in the table below, and check the command line parameters.

Platform

Command

Description

Linux

 ps -ef | more

Lists all processes.
ps -ef | grep java

Lists all processors using Java.
ps -u <username>

Use the userid of the 3DSpace installation user to see the process for that user.

Because the ps command can truncate the command line, you might check whether your ps command supports the auxwww argument, which provides a listing with the full command line for each process.

A Java process's command line provides quick access to a lot of information required while checking your configuration. "Reviewing Other Configuration Issues" shows how the command line can help you determine whether a Java process is 3DSpace-related (i.e., related to an application server or 3DSpace Service) or related to some other application.
