Monit seems to create zombie processes #7

Open kheops2713 opened 9 years ago

kheops2713 commented 9 years ago

A quick look on an already-installed system showed several zombie processes created by monit:

root      5928  1.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Zs   10:14   0:00 [monit_ep_consol] <defunct>
root      5995  0.5  0.0      0     0 ?        Zs   10:14   0:00 [monit_ep_consol] <defunct>
root      6063  0.5  0.0      0     0 ?        Zs   10:14   0:00 [monit_connectio] <defunct>
root      6131  0.5  0.0      0     0 ?        Zs   10:14   0:00 [monit_check_mai] <defunct>

Some more digging may be required to reproduce this and understand how it happens.

This is a known issue with monit. Maybe the latest version fixes this. The zombies do not appear to affect it or the sever.

Are there any workarounds for this issue? - I see it as well.

UPDATE: Monit knows about it, it's even in their docs at https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#PROGRAM-STATUS-TESTING sorry for the interruption

Hello,

"I see dead processes". Any news on "This unwanted zombie side-effect will be removed in a later release of Monit." ?

Kind regards,
