Title: Howto Restart Qtopia
Post by: mschellens on June 30, 2005, 01:23:07 pm

When I start eg. LTris, my C3000 seems to hang completely.
So for I hard reset it then. Is there another better way to end a
hanging application (Like Crt/Alt/BackSpace for X)?
Qtopia isn't responsive anymore at all.
Thanks,
ms

Goto console and do a 'ps -ef' which will list all the processes
get the processID for the hanging application and then  'kill <pid>' to end the hung-up application.

I think for the most part (unless someone else knows better) a hard reset might be in order.  If it really is only qtopia that's frozen, then you may be able to get around it.  Make sure you have a network connection established before you run the app.  Better yet, have an open ssh connection as root.  From the there you might be able to kill a process or restart qtopia.

Hm, thats not really satifying of course.
It take ages until the Z is ready again.
The file system might be damaged also...
Ok, thanks anyway,

How does one restart Qtopia through ssh? I tried telinit 2 and telinit 5 but it did not restart on a C3000 (works on a C860)...

Code: [Select]

killall qpeshould do it, if not try

Code: [Select]

killall -9 qpe or if you know the pid for pqe

Code: [Select]

kill -9
The other option, rather than killing qpe, is to use top or some such utility to see what program is hogging the cpu and kill that.
