Tumblerd using up CPU, and memory on Xfce and thunar

wchouser3 · 2014-03-21 23:47:54

Hey everybody...I was just so excited about this one, I just thought I'd put it out there. Copy and paste this script, mark it executable and set it up to run at start up. It fixes the problem with tumblerd getting hung up, and using up resources. A must have for anyone using Xfce, and thunar (that is, if you want thumbnails)

I got this from the Linuxmint forum, so.....give credit where it's due.

#!/bin/bash
# Tumblerdwatcher v 1.0
# Script to check and kill tumblerd process if a loop is suspected. To be automatically scheduled at user session start.
# Homemade workaround for bug: [url]http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=97079&p=767460&hilit=tumblerd#p554241[/url]

process="/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/tumbler-1/tumblerd"   # tumblerd binary path
Pcpu=20                     # tolerated cpu usage (%)
Pmem=25                     # tolerated memory usage (%)
mountpath="/media"               # automatic mount point for removable storage
sec=10                     # time limit (sec) for opened file at $mountpath for thumbnail generation
sg="-15"                  # process termination signal (-15 is OK)
logpath="/tmp/Tumblerdwatcher.log"         # log path

# skip to next period if not executing

 ps -eo pcpu,pid,pmem,args | grep $process | grep -v 'grep' | while read dpcpu pid dpmem
# catch proccess id, cpu usage and memory usage

  do

  pcpu=`echo $dpcpu | cut -d'.' -f1`
  pmem=`echo $dpmem | cut -d'.' -f1`

  [[ $pcpu -gt $Pcpu ]] || [[ $pmem -gt $Pmem ]] && kill $sg $pid && echo "`date` PID $pid $pcpu/$Pcpu %cpu $pmem/$Pmem %mem" && continue
# if cpu usage or memory usage exceed, kill it and report values in the log file

  [[ `lsof -p $pid | grep $mountpath | wc -l` -eq 0 ]] && continue
# if no opened file by tumblerd at removable storage mountpoint, skip to next period

  lsof -p $pid | grep $mountpath | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f9 > /tmp/tumblerd.lsof.old
# list opened files

  sleep $sec
# wait for tolerated time limit

  [[ `lsof -p $pid | grep $mountpath | wc -l` -eq 0 ]] && continue
# if no more opened file skip to next period

  lsof -p $pid | grep $mountpath | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f9 > /tmp/tumblerd.lsof.new
# list opened files again

  for opened_file in `cat /tmp/tumblerd.lsof.old`
# if some file was open before....
   do

     grep $opened_file /tmp/tumblerd.lsof.new && kill $sg $pid && echo "`date` PID $pid ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^" && continue
# ...and it's still hung open, kill tumblerd
   done

  done

done
