Hello guys, Since a month ago the website hosted on dreamhost was randomly down, for few minutes before i launch a new request or kill all python processes.
e.g Tasks: 21 total, 1 running, 12 sleeping, 0 stopped, 8 zombie 3279 coulix 9 0 10976 10m 2612 S 0.0 0.5 0:00.08 python 8948 coulix 9 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python <defunct> 27651 coulix 9 0 11008 10m 2520 S 0.0 0.5 0:00.07 python 30809 coulix 9 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python <defunct> 26185 coulix 9 0 11372 11m 2660 S 0.0 0.5 0:00.04 python 22650 coulix 8 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python <defunct> 6070 coulix 11 2 10696 10m 2524 S 0.0 0.5 0:00.15 python 2180 coulix 10 2 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python <defunct> 20777 coulix 11 2 12440 12m 2528 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.37 python 1954 coulix 9 0 8444 8440 2264 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.20 python 11061 coulix 9 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python <defunct> 25342 coulix 9 0 10752 10m 2636 S 0.0 0.5 0:00.45 python 15731 coulix 11 2 11404 11m 2520 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.07 python 15278 coulix 11 2 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python <defunct> 17346 coulix 8 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python <defunct> 19139 coulix 9 0 8400 8396 2264 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.23 python I found this TextDrive topic on http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=10335 Steve 9 contribution "I think what is happening (with maxspare=1) is when a new page request come in a second child process is created since maxchildren=2, but after it finishes it gets killed because maxspare=1. The killed process hangs around for a second and sometimes gets noticed by the watchdog, which then kills the parent process (operating under the assumption that's the only way to kill the zombie child process). Whew!"" Any idea on how to fix these problems on dreamhost ? if not i will submit a ticket.
