kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/etc/httpd/logs/httpd.pid` Most of the time, this successfully restarts the web server, allowing us to rotate our logs. But sometimes the server shuts down leaving a few httpd processes that are unkillable. (they refuse to respond to "kill -9"). The only recourse at that point is a reboot. We have also seen similar behavior when stopping the web server, using: kill `cat /usr/local/etc/httpd/logs/httpd.pid` Some of the processes hang inexplicably. The server root is on an NFS-mounted volume, if that is of any help. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: n >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
