 |
|
Hello all,
I emerge'd vim and I noticed a weird issue. When I close rxvt or xterm while I am editing a file with, my cpu meter pegs and running top shows that vim is taking 99.9% of the cpu. I have to send a kill -9 to the process to kill it. Anyone have the same issue and found a solution? |

|
|
| Code: | # ps ax
921 ? R 6159:15 vim subbill2.php subamend2.php subres2.php |
As you can tell, I'm having a similar problem with vim. I ssh into my server, edit some files with vim, then exit vim (or so I thought) and exit ssh. Yet when I log in again, it seems as though vim has been running full steam ahead the entire time!  I am editing these files as root, and my $TERM is currently cygwin, although I'm pretty certain this was happening before using a cygwin terminal. (I know, I know, cygwin sucks, but save the flames for later.  )
Did anybody ever submit anything to bugzilla? Is this a legitimate bug deserving bugzilla treatment? |

I've observed the same behaviour in other distros (like Conectiva), so it is a bug in vim, not in Gentoo.
Vim version 6.0 |

OK, I figured out the cause of my problem. Occasionally I will have vim open, editing a file, and something which requires my attention will come up. I'll get sidetracked, and come back a half hour later, having forgotten I was in the middle of something. Well, my connection had timed out, and the command window for ssh had closed itself. This left the vim process consuming processor cycles until I happened to notice it in the "ps ax" output.
Thanks for your help though.  |

| I'm pretty sure I've noticed this behavior from vim over ssh connections even when my connection didn't time out. |

Sorry, but I don't think the issue is resolved 
How can we avoid it?

I also came across this vim behavior, also with other distros. to be on the safe side: start vim in screen, so if your connection is lost, vim still has a terminal that it is connected to .. and happy

Could you be more explicit?

When editing a file with vim use:
This is so that if your session dies, vim won't lose it's controlling terminal.
