hi all... suddenly from about a month ago every day at any given time i get a lot of zombies. the machine gets down to a crowl and i have to restart the httpd. this last time i saw about 120 zombies. according to ps they are not using any resources. aren;t zombies supposed to be discarded? lack of memory? thanks.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
