That seems to be the problem. And, you may have suggested a way to check what's running. When everything locks up I can't see the status page and if I kill the problem process I can't see what it was but I guess I can kill a couple of other sites and that may allow the status page to run. If it happens again I will try that. I say "if" because I am trying something and so far it seems to be working. I realized that this was a recent problem and that I recently upgraded to 2.4.20. I reverted to 2.4.18 last night and so far so good. I will report after a few days or sooner if it happens again. -- D'Arcy J.M.
