I sent this problem around the holidays and didn't get much response other than "I was told restarting the server was the only way to solve it". I don't know how things work in other places, but that's not an option here. We can't have someone monitoring for that error and then restarting the CF server (plus it interrupts the other applications that also run under it).
Sooooo.... here's what happens. On Solaris running CF 5.0, we use cfexecute to call the unzip function then bcp data into a database. It works fine for a few days then starts giving the error: The process /usr/bin/unzip caused the unix exec function to return abnormally, ... aborting this process. If I restart CF, it starts working fine again. Unzip still works flawlessly from the command line so it seems that CF is using vfork or something and not releasing memory once the command finishes each time and then stacks it up til it can't run cfexecute anymore. That's my guess anyway. Is there something I can look at or tune to prevent this from happening? Has anyone run into this in the past and found a solution? Anything else to look at? Appreciate any advice - my developer is getting mighty mighty frustrated. Thanks.
