JKdefrag GUI + JKDefrag 3.36.02 Memory Usage Issue

[Mikoyan]

Hello People,

I am currently using JKdefrag GUI + JKDefrag 3.36.02 on Windows 2003 Small Business servers for our clients and using the scheduler it seems to be working great.

However I noticed I am getting an issue that even after the schedule has finished and the defrag is not running there is still a process called JKDefragcmd.exe that is within the process list and is taking up a large portion of memory which in turn slows down the server...

Is this normal? I would have thought that after the task has stopped the process should also..

Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated!

If the program is in the process list then it is still running. Take a look at your JkDefragCmd.log file to see what it is doing, see the "-d" commandline options to get more information in the logfile. In rare cases the program can "hang" on a file, if you can repeat it then use the "-e" commandline option to exclude the offending file.

I am using JKDefrag GUI how would I make the change using this?

Thanks

I don't know which GUI you are using (there are several out there), but perhaps it has a "debug level" setting, and an "exclude" setting. If not then I guess you will have to scrap the GUI and use JkDefrag directly. See the JkDefrag homepage for more information.
