I have some systems which run amandad out of inetd: amanda dgram udp wait backup \ /usr/local/amanda/libexec/amandad amandad Fairly often, amanda turns into a zombie: $ ps auxww | grep amanda amanda 935 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? Z - 0:00.00 (amandad) $ Why would inetd fail to reap the dead amanda process? I tried sending it a SIGCHLD manually, but that didn't help. I have found no solution other than rebooting the machine once this happens. I'm considering changing the "wait" to "nowait", but first I have to figure out if this would have unintended consequences ... any thoughts? -- Ben UNIX Systems Engineer, Skunk Group StarMedia Network, Inc.
