Hello, I am experience a problem with rsync spawned process will not die on their own. The problem first showed its face when I ran rsync through /etc/inetd.conf. I changed to running rsyncd as daemon and I still have the problem.
Description: 1) I have rsync server setup with following parameters: [orcanow] path = /orca/data/now comment = file depot use chroot = no uid = orca gid = orca auth users = orca secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets strict modes = yes read only = false exclude = orcallator.pid 2) I run rsync via rc.d scripts on Solaris Box (Sun E480R). /usr/local/bin/rsync --daemon 3) I have 400-500 small rsyncs occur every 5 minutes from client-initiated connections. The rsyncs usually involve syncing one file that changes very 5 minutes (orca data). 4) Over a 24 hours period, I usually end up with about 250 rsync processes that did not die on their own. I can stop/start the rsync daemon to remove, but worry about interupting a data transfer which could effect data. Has anyone encountered similar problem? I'm running the latest Rsync 2.5.5 now. I first noticed problem while running version 2.4.4 on server and the upgraded to 2.5.5. Most clients are running version 2.4.4. - Liston ============================================================================ - Liston Bias The only lesson history has taught us Alumnus of Oklahoma State Univ is that man has not yet learned anything Alumnus of Florida State Univ from history. -- Anonymous [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~bias ============================================================================ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
