Hi Qmail-Scanner List,
(sent to main qmail list too in desperation as qmail-scanner-list doesn't
seem to be responding)
recap: I have a smp qmail box running qmail/spam
assassin/sophie/serialmail - I keep on getting orphaned perl5.6.1 processes
from qmail-scanner sitting around off init and slowing the box down
stupidly. I have been told I should never see these orphan processes. once
it has become orphaned from tcpserver it seems to ignore my softlimits and
really slow the box down.
I have now installed qmail scanner as
./configure --admin technical --domain domain.co.uk --scanners
none --install
and stopped the spamd and sophie daemons from even running so it HAS to be
qmail-scanner.
Please can someone else on this list run the command
perl -pe 'system("pstree | grep perl | grep -v grep| grep -v bash")'
(press return for an update on your screen) and see if you see any of these:
please can someone just confirm they dont at the very least?

As it does now seem to be a problem with qmail-scanner I have reinstalled
reformime from Maildrop 1.3.8+
Perl module Time::HiRes
Perl module DB_File (most distributions come with it pre-installed, although
the latest Perl doesn't)
Perl module Sys::Syslog (most distributions come with it pre-installed)
Barely Optional: Mark Simpson's TNEF unpacker.
with no difference and am still getting those resource hogging |-perl5.6.1
orphaned processes.
As noone has replied saying that they have a dual CPU (SMP) machine I will
assume that this software ISN'T tested on SMP and that may be the problem
(straws and clutching)?
Any comments?
I am seriously running out of time, and was half hoping for at least one
answer when I got out off bed this morning :'( not to sound like a
whinging nancy but HELP!! Where can I go from here, all and any suggestions
really appriciated on next steps for debugging.
Thanks
Pete
