They're handled differently by the > server than regular CGI scripts. anything about the script that you can think of that would cause it? it's a /bin/sh script, and it can take minutes to run sometimes. that's why i want it nph-, so users can see what it's doing. but i don't see how that could cause it to clog up the server. the scripts aren't running while it's clogged. > > So, am I still the only one reporting this problem? > > Yup. darn it! > Can you ktrace one of the blocked children when this happens? ok. > What do you have your Timeout and KeepAliveTimeout set to? timeout is set to 28800, because i have a lot of large files, and a short timeout wasn't acceptable. i wish there was an idle timeout, rather than just timeout. keepalivetimeout was unset, so 15 i guess.
