While compiling www/chromium on a Pi3B it has become clear that the
default -j4 isn't going to work (yes, I know, ya told me).
On the plus side, it hasn't crashed, despite several days of
continuous swapping with 1-2GB of swap in use. Kudos to the
VM folks.
Now I'd like to (gracefully) stop the make and restart it with more
sane -j values. -2 seems like a reasonable start.
A simple
kill <PID> aimed at the original make doesn't seem to do anything. Even
kill -9 <PID> appears to have no effect on the c++ threads, which are
still running minutes afterwards.
Now it seems rather like I'm stuck: The original <PID> is gone, but
c++ is still grinding away as if nothing has changed..
Is there a better way to accomplish a clean(ish) stop and restart of
a multi-threaded make process?
Thanks for reading, apologies if it's a dumb question,
Not at all. :-)
I usually leverage multiple terminals, and simply dedicate one to
the/a build session. So simply issuing a ^C to that terminal sends
an INTR to the parent, and children. I've experienced no problems
restarting the process (build) after doing so.
HTH! :-)
