my top shows a lot of defuncts all the time 11071 qpsmtpd 15 0 18104 14m 1288 S 15 2.9 0:01.19 qpsmtpd-forkser 11077 qpsmtpd 17 0 0 0 0 Z 10 0.0 0:00.31 qpsmtpd-forkser <defunct> 11075 qpsmtpd 15 0 0 0 0 Z 9 0.0 0:00.64 qpsmtpd-forkser <defunct>
i tried to trace some of those using the PID and qpsmtpd.log, and it shows nothing unusual. load on box is 0.50-0.7 with some 1 mails/sec. i run a minimum of plug ins check_relay rcpt_ok $include /etc/qpsmtpd/debian-queue-method So basically nothing is wrong, except me being nervous about those defuncts and a quite high load avg. Any ideas? thanks vento
