There's a zombie httpd process on larousse, taking >90% CPU time. Can't restart httpd, and have no permission to kill the process. Maybe someone should just reboot? Magnus Thomas Corell wrote:

No, it's still there. PID 6824, now taking 50-90% CPU time. It is the only httpd process left. top even shows it as "zombie". Nick Reinking wrote:

So, that's why it is taking up so much CPU time (in top). In any case, I do see quite a few httpd processes dropping off and dying as defunct processes. That is strange, and I'm not seeing any good reason for it in the error log... -- Nick Reinking -- eschewing obfuscation since 1981 -- Minneapolis, MN
