Also, If it were a memory leak, as it appears to be, why do the new processes immediately go to the high RSS values? My Perl script kills all of the processes over the limit and voila the leak is reset. Being a prefork environment, should the leak happen independently in each process and not be impacted by the other procs? ---- Graham Frank Neoservers LLC - Founder and Owner Ph: (608) 359-1593 Member of the Better Business Bureau -----Original Message----- From: Graham Frank [mailto:gfrank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 8:19 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; colm@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: RSS of Apache Processes Hey, We actually have the MaxRequestsPerChild set to 1000 and KeepAlive off. Know of any way that we could find the leak considering the vastness of all the possibilities? Thanks. ---- Graham Frank Neoservers LLC - Founder and Owner Ph: (608) 359-1593 Member of the Better Business Bureau --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
