Hi guys,
I am sorry if this is such a newbie question!
I was diagnosing an un-related issue on my web-server and had to list processes to see which PID needed to be killed. I noticed that there were several entries for the “http2-prefork” process …
[start]
wwwrun 8786 0.0 0.5 88452 6052 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8787 0.0 0.5 88452 6052 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8788 0.0 0.5 88452 6052 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8790 0.0 0.5 88452 6040 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8791 0.0 0.5 88452 6040 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8793 0.0 0.5 88452 6040 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8813 0.0 0.5 88452 6036 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8814 0.0 0.5 88452 6036 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun 8815 0.0 0.5 88452 6040 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[end]
I mean, it’s not a huge problem or anything the webserver seems to be running OK - but is it right there should be multiple processes running like this? I am sorry but I do not know if you need to view any configs or if there is a setting somewhere that controls the number of processes, I installed it through Yast and left it as default (as I am a newbie and this is for a home website!).
I really would appreciate any replies that will help me to understand better.
Thank you
Richard
