Except for me it is a perl process that is wreaking havoc, swallowing all the swap then getting killed off by the OS. The only workaround I've done so far is a script to check that at least one perl is running and to restart the service if it dies. Of course the sensible think to do would be to take the probelm to www.slashcode.com, and I may yet do that. As for you, are you doing anything funny with your webserver? I used to et this when I ran mod_jk. You might have to just restart apache. Bill. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
