If Sendmail was involved you should check what was happening to it.
Because if you have triggers set, JFFNMS consolidate will be blocked until it
can send the email and that can cause all sorts of issues.

There appears to be an issue with jffnms leaving orphans behind. My
system was running fine for 31 days, but this morning there were over
34,000 orphaned. These processes were mostly php or fping with a
smattering of id and sendmail. These defunct processes are unkillable
and brought my system to a crawl. I had to reboot to clear them.
From what I understand the orphans are caused when a process forks a
child and then exits before the child finishes. When this happens the
forked process' parent changes to init, which should normally clean them
up when they finish running. When a process is defunct before init
inherits them, init is unable to clean them and they stay in the system
forever or until the system is rebooted.
The only reason I can think of for the child to be passed to init as
defunct is high load causing a delay between when the real parent exits
and the child finishes running with another delay between the parent
exiting and the child being passed to init. The only solution I can see
to this is to ensure that all children have completed before allowing
the parent process to exit. I do not know which specific module left
the orphans behind, but it must be one of the pollers as I am not
running auto discovery on any hosts.
Little problems like these are hardly enough to make me stop using this
great product Javier, you should be proud of it. I just wanted to bring
it to your attention.

Brad
