A Linux administrator is troubleshooting the root cause of a high CPU load and average. Which of the following commands will permanently resolve the issue?
D. kill -9 6295
The command "renice -n -20 6295" changes the priority of the process with ID 6295 to a higher priority by assigning it a nice value of -20.
I agree "A" gives the process a higher priority therefore allowing it to consume even more system resources. Apparently the test developers don't listen to our comments or QC them. Just think a lot more experienced unix'ers would ace these tests if the answers were correct.
Actually, I am going with D. The renice command, when using a negative number (max of -20), actually calls for the process to get more cpu cycles and therefore put more demand on the CPU. For A to be correct, the renice command would need to use a positive number which will slow it down. Note that the output of the top command is wrong also. When you have a nice value of -10, then the priority value would be positive 10 (ten subtracted from the default of 20).
Comptia wording is brutal, sometime I wonder if they are really testing our knowledge or just trolling thre hell out of everyone.....lol, maybe both
