Hello Rainer,
Our scripts doesn't guess the pid. One of the script in question has the
following lines:
PID_FILE=/vol/www/server/logs/httpd.pid
...
# Restart the httpd to build new logfiles
kill -HUP `cat $PID_FILE`
This file only contains one pid which is het main httpd process.
host * ~ > cat /vol/www/server/logs/httpd.pid
4351
host * ~ > ps auxww| grep httpd
root 4351 0.0 0.0 33484 4692 ? Ss Apr03 0:00
/vol/www/server/bin/httpd
www 4607 0.0 0.0 35800 5040 ? S Apr06 0:01
/vol/www/server/bin/httpd
www 8796 0.0 0.0 33648 4664 ? S 00:05 0:00
/vol/www/server/bin/httpd
....
The other way we start apache is thru the apachectl script which also doesn't
guess the PID but just calls the httpd binary with a "-k restart" argument.
So I don't think the problem is somewhere in the way we restart apache. Do you
have any other ideas on how to debug this?
