| Hello Friends,
While browsing the messages in this new group, I found that a couple
of people tried and successful in cleaning the defunct and zombie
process using a PERL or shell script.
If you have a working script that cleans defuncts and zombies , could
you please post it? I appreciate your help. I do not have experience
with SIGNALS in PERL.
Also, here is my problem:
I have an apache/mysql/perl/Linux environment running cgis. My
webserver runs fine for a couple of days. After a month or so, it
starts running really slow (if someone try to access the URL, the
response will be slow). When the webserver responses are slow, If I do
ps -aef, I do see a lot of defunts. Aslo, if I do "top", I do see the
zombies count as 60 - 70. I believe these defunts and zombies may be
taking my webserver's resources and making it run slow.
Any suggesstions?
If you have a working script that cleans defuncts and zombies , could
you please post it? I appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Srini
