[users@httpd] Why child processes last for long time(8 hours)

[Qingshan Xie <xi...@yahoo.com>]

Hi, All,  We have a 2.0.54 Apache with worker mpm
running on Solaris 8.  We observed many child
processes last for long time, did not die
automatically.  This caused too many child processes
forded and running in the system, caused the swap
space depletion problem.  wonder if the configuration
is not right.  copy/pasted below.  Could you help if
this is a configuration tunning issue or the issue
from apache 2.0.54 itself?  Thanks, Q.Xie

<IfModule worker.c>
ServerLimit           22
StartServers          15
MaxClients           500
MinSpareThreads       25
MaxSpareThreads       20
ThreadsPerChild       25
MaxRequestsPerChild 3000
</IfModule>
