Hi Stephen, I remember documenting a similar problem not too long ago. Take a look at http://cyrusimap.org/imap/faqs/o-toomanyprocesses.html And see if there's any information there which helps. Cheers, Nicola ----- Original message ----- From: "Stephan via Info-cyrus" <info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Info Cyrus <info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Strange behaviour Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2016 10:37:26 +0100 Hi, I have a problem with cyrus imapd 2.5.7 - I connect to it with two clients, both of which are turned off over night. The processes however stay and if I start the clients again on the next morning, new processes get spawned instead of reusing the old ones. This continues till the limit for maxchild gets hit. When shutting down via initscript. which just sends a SIGTERM to the master process, there remain more or less zombies of imapd procs which can only be eliminated by sending a SIGKILL to the master. In the logs I see that some of the imapd procs stopped the way they should: imaps[13135]: graceful shutdown Others seemed hesitant: master[11489]: process type:SERVICE name:imaps path:/usr/local/bin/imapd age:36588.013s pid:13138 exited, status 75 Is there any way to resolve this ? So far I had to restart cyrus every other day to have access to my mail.
