<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m noticing an issue with the latest version of Smokeping & FCGI in that it appears to spawn new processes without killing old ones correctly and I’m wondering if anybody else sees the same. Over a period of a week or two this slowly fills
up the memory on my server until either the box crashes or I manage to kill the processes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the course of the last 10 days I ended up with 200+ of the following processes which I’m assuming is attributed to FCGI as if I hit the GUI a few times it will spawn another one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">apache 1088 1 0 03:19 ? 00:00:03 /usr/bin/perl /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">apache 2794 1 0 11:47 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/perl /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">apache 7109 1 0 12:40 ? 00:00:03 /usr/bin/perl /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">apache 7607 1 0 06:32 ? 00:00:04 /usr/bin/perl /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For now I have a script that runs periodically and kills any old processes but I haven’t done anything special with smokeping or FCGI & I’m using the .fcgi that comes bundled with smokeping – is there something I’ve missed or is this a
bug?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also along the same lines – I find that I have to restart apache after updating the config file in order to see the changes reflected in the GUI.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
