I am setting up Apache::Watchdog::RunAway and have come across a problem with Apache::Scoreboard that breaks Watchdog. The broken thing is access_count which is always 0 (my $count = $process->my_access_count;). This causes process running time to continue to increase until the Apache::Watchdog::RunAway timeout is reached and the process is marked as hung and killed. Sample debug output from Watchdog: OK 3 25345 W 0 30 0 OK 8 25383 W 0 24 0 OK 7 25411 W 0 18 0 OK 11 25421 W 0 15 0 OK 2 25408 W 0 3 0 OK 2 25408 W 0 6 0 OK 3 25345 W 0 33 0 [Tue Oct 31 11:37:11 2000] Apache::Watchdog::RunAway: child proc 25345 seems to hang -- it is running longer than limit of 30 secs ($Apache::Watchdog::RunAway::TIMEOUT). Killing proc 25345. OK 7 25411 W 0 21 0 OK 11 25421 W 0 18 0 >From conversation with the author of Watchdog correct output: OK 2 13377 W 2 0 1 OK 0 13374 W 8 0 7 OK 2 13377 W 3 0 2 OK 0 13374 W 9 0 8 OK 2 13377 W 4 0 3 OK 2 13377 W 5 0 4 ------------------ col 1 2 3 4 5 6 See the columns above: column 5 is the time the process is running, column 4 is the count of requests served by the child and col6 is the last request served. So the killing rule triggers when: col 4 and 6 has the same value and col 5 is bigger than TIMEOUT value. Finally here is some info on the environment this is running under.
