Hi All,
Last month I put in a new mailserver, here are the specs:
FreeBSD 8.3 amd64bit
8GB ram
2TB mirrored disk space
dual Xeon E5310s
Intel motherboard
top output:
last pid: 82946; load averages: 0.71, 0.74, 0.65 up 5+06:39:07
13:12:33
94 processes: 1 running, 93 sleeping
CPU: 0.3% user, 0.0% nice, 0.5% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.2% idle
Mem: 395M Active, 6058M Inact, 1061M Wired, 376M Cache, 827M Buf, 25M Free
Swap: 4096M Total, 548K Used, 4095M Free
The problem is that for seemingly no reason every once in a while
spamd will exit. It seems to be graceful exit since it deletes it's
pid file - whereas if I do a kill -9 it will not delete the pid file.
I ended up writing a script that checks once an hour for the existence
of spamd in the process table and if it's not there it restarts it.
Over the last month it did it on
10/3
10/4
10/5
10/8
10/11
10/15
10/17
10/18 twice
there is no defined time it does it. Sometimes in the afternoon,
sometimes in the morning. This is under Perl 5.14.2. The core ram
consumed by the process does not appear to be increasing over time
that it is running.
Any suggestions?
Ted
