The console terminal didn't respond either. I could use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to switch
consoles but the console terminal wouldn't respond at all to key strokes. I
didn't see any error messages on the console itself either. Faulty hardware or
is it lack of RAM due to the multiple apache instances?
Oddly enough, I had this same problem when I set a console timeout on
our external web server (internal was fine with it). If anything caused
a console timeout (ssh, direct console access, etc) the box stopped
spawning new processes yet allowed existing ones to continue. I ended up
taking the console timeout off and it cleared up the problem. Could be
something as simple as that.
