[users@httpd] child pid notices - take 2
Hi;
I received no suggestions the first time, so perhaps a simplified
request will generate response...
While poring over my error logs I come across multiple bunchings of the
following message:
[Thu Jan 2 22:26:21 2003] [notice] child pid 6743 exit signal User defined signal 2 (17)
[Thu Jan 2 22:26:21 2003] [notice] child pid 6742 exit signal User defined signal 2 (17)
[Thu Jan 2 22:26:21 2003] [notice] child pid 6741 exit signal User defined signal 2 (17)
All told for the month of January I have over 6000 of these notices (the
server got ~2.5 million HTTP requests during the same period), all
identical except for the PID number. I am running Apache 1.3.26 on
HP-UX 10.20.
I understand that this is a notice generated internally by Apache.
My question is, should I expect this notice in my error log, or is this
indicative of 'poorly behaving' CGI scripts, and if it's the latter,
what can I suggest to the CGI owner to eliminate them? Or is it
something else entirely?
Thanks for any suggestions,
hugh

This is just a wild guess, and probably will not help you at all, but
if child processes die with this message after they have handled their
max number of requests, then it might be due to that.
But I doubt it is this.
