Chrome Crashpad Handler Killer

This simple Go program helps mitigate high CPU usage caused by chrome_crashpad_handler processes. The chrome_crashpad_handler is part of Google Chrome and handles crash reports, but sometimes it consumes unnecessary CPU resources.

It runs in the background and periodically scans running processes on a Linux system, identifies the chrome_crashpad_handler processes, and terminates them.

Usage

./kill_crashpad -process=<process_name> -interval=<check_interval>
  • process: Name of the process to monitor and kill (default: "chrome_crashpad")
  • interval: Interval between process checks (default: 60s)
