lab 2.1 echo: write error: No such process

donquijotedelasnubes

Hi there,

When trying to do the lab 2.1, I'm stuck at the part when we are supposed to enter:

student@ubuntu:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo bash -c 'echo 20913 >>tasks'

I get the following error:

echo: write error: No such process

I have tried several times, by opening and closing a new terminal window or a new terminal tab, then entering the corresponding PID number, and I always get the same error. I had no problem following along up until here.

Hi @donquijotedelasnubes,

Please provide the following commands and their respective outputs:

First terminal student@ubuntu:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ cat tasks

Second terminal student@ubuntu:~$ ps

First terminal student@ubuntu:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo bash -c 'echo PID >> tasks' by replacing the PID with the value you are using to write into the tasks file.

Regards,
-Chris

Hi @chrispokorni

student@ubuntu:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ cat task

student@ubuntu:~$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
13860 pts/1 00:00:00 bash
13872 pts/1 00:00:00 ps

student@ubuntu:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo bash -c 'echo PID >> tasks

Now it worked ... I dont know why. Sorry for the inconvenience

I had the same issue, I realized the tasks file does not exist, and I´m not able to create it.

Hi @dalbaran,

Can you provide a screenshot of the commands you run to populate and/or create the tasks file and their respective outputs showing errors?

Hi @chrispokorni,

I have the same issue when doing the lab exercise 2.1. The command for student@ubuntu:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo bash -c 'echo PID >> tasks always delivers the error "echo: write error: No such process".

Can you help me, please?

Kind regards

@chrispokorni Never mind, I found my error! Thanks
