Hi Debian 3.1, kernel 2.4.27-2-generic alpha GNU/Linux clamd daemon 0.88.2 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: alpha, CPU: alpha) with ExiScan.
I have been getting hundreds of defunct clamd processes per day. clamav 26088 18934 0 13:54 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct> clamav 26197 18934 0 13:55 ? 00:00:01 [clamd] <defunct> clamav 26287 18934 0 13:56 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct> clamav 26536 18934 0 13:59 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct> clamav 26736 18934 0 14:01 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct> clamav 26804 18934 0 14:01 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct> I first noticed this when my system became un-responsive and I had to hit the re-set button. The processes are all children spawned by clamd which is being called by exim (exiscan) to virus-check mail. The processes are left in a zombie state when they should exit gracefully. I have tried getting some help from the clamav list but that what we tried has not been successful in stopping the problem. I did send some strace output to one helpful user. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Can anyone offer any advice? TIA. Dp. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
