I had before run a shell script that would loop forever, sleep for
15s, then issue a "ps aux". That one did not show any excess of
processes before the freeze. Would "ps gaxl" show processes that "ps
aux" won't? If not, then it's not very likely that my freeze is caused
by a full process table, would it? Unless a task creates them all in
just a few seconds...
Since the loop reporting the state before the freeze might not help,
I'll wait for it to happen again. I've now opened several shells so
that I can issue several commands with exec, hopefully.
