I am running rstudio-server on a virtualised (vmware-player) ubuntu machine, and processing lots of data into the ram. I find that after some inactivity that the session suspends the data. The problem is that it takes a VERY long time to resume this session and it is making both the host machine and virtual machine lag very badly.
I just want to kill the session and start a new fresh session of rstudio-server, but so far the only way I have found which does this is to reisub
my ubuntu machine. Does anyone know a better solution?
As a side note, I think entering session-timeout-minutes=0
in /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf
as per here should fix the problem of the session suspending.
A quick solution would be to rename ~/.rstudio and reopen the webpage using rstudio url.
I have tried the above solutions which didn't work for me. I tried to kill the rsession which is causing the problem. just run this command to find out pid of user session.
ps -u userid
Find out the pid that is causing the rsession to stall. Kill that process and you're good to go.
I found this page, which deals with resetting the rstudio-desktop version. In my home directory, I found the folder
~/.rstudio
. I renamed/deleted this folder and this loads a new rstudio-server instance.In fact, there is a folder called
suspended session
in the~/.rstudio
folder, which I suspect is the thing where suspended data is stored, so maybe deleting this folder is sufficient?If there is a directory inside
~/.rstudio/sessions/active/
, deleting it (in the way likerm -rf ~/.rstudio/sessions/active/session-*
) might be sufficient to solve the problem.Your question is a while back but after running into this problem a zilion times i found a way to reset the Rstudio Shiny Server session without the need for admin rights on Rstudio Shiny Server:
put temporarily as first line in server.r : quit("yes") # FORCE CLOSE OF SESSION server
go to the site and it will crash (the session closes straight away)
Works for me and saves a lot of time searching through all kind of system folders or the need to enter a part of the system that you are not allowed to go or needing admin rights on Rstudio Shiny Server.
I hope this helps.
