I'm having the same issue with PHP 5.2.8, Apache 2.2.11, GNU/Linux (2.6.20-1.2320.fc5). A php script periodically (per user request) executes the following command: xsltproc <filename> <filename> In some time the script starts throwing the "unable to fork" warning. It is fixed by Apache restart.

While running a script that processes large XML files and writes the log to a log file, I get Warning: exec(): Unable to fork Initially the script runs fine for some 3 or 4 hours after which it gives out the warnings. The script has a huge amount of data to process. I also tried to use the nohup command but was of no use. A screenshot of the problem is given below: DEBUG:INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('13001','Microsoft','Windows XP Home','0.0.0SP1','0','0','0','SP1','Software') Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/bash -c "exec nohup setsid echo \"DEBUG: INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('13001','Microsoft','Windows XP Home','0.0.0SP1','0','0','0','SP1','Software') \">>feed2vendorDB.log 2>&1 &"] in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xml_feed/sircc_agnostic/feed2vendorDB/feed2vendorDB.php on line 1454 DEBUG:INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('13002','Microsoft','Windows XP Professional','0.0.0SP1','0','0','0','SP1','Software') Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/bash -c "exec nohup setsid echo \"DEBUG: INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('13002','Microsoft','Windows XP Professional','0.0.0SP1','0','0','0','SP1','Software') \">>feed2vendorDB.log 2>&1 &"] in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xml_feed/sircc_agnostic/feed2vendorDB/feed2vendorDB.php on line 1454 DEBUG:INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('13134','KaZaA','KaZaA Media Desktop','2.0.0','2','0','0','','Software') Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/bash -c "exec nohup setsid echo \"DEBUG: INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('13134','KaZaA','KaZaA Media Desktop','2.0.0','2','0','0','','Software') \">>feed2vendorDB.log 2>&1 &"] in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xml_feed/sircc_agnostic/feed2vendorDB/feed2vendorDB.php on line 1454 DEBUG:INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('11051','KaZaA','KaZaA Media Desktop','1.6.1','1','6','1','','Software') Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/bash -c "exec nohup setsid echo \"DEBUG: INSERT into package (id,vendor,title,version,ver_major,ver_minor,ver_sub,ver_ext,type) values ('11051','KaZaA','KaZaA Media Desktop','1.6.1','1','6','1','','Software') \">>feed2vendorDB.log 2>&1 &"] in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xml_feed/sircc_agnostic/feed2vendorDB/feed2vendorDB.php on line 1454 DEBUG:INSERT into infection_vector (vector,deployed,effectiveness) values ('File Sharing / Peer to Peer / Kazaa','3','8') Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/bash -c "exec nohup setsid echo \"DEBUG: INSERT into infection_vector (vector,deployed,effectiveness) values ('File Sharing / Peer to Peer / Kazaa','3','8') \">>feed2vendorDB.log 2>&1 &"] in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xml_feed/sircc_agnostic/feed2vendorDB/feed2vendorDB.php on line 1454 DEBUG:INSERT into infection_vector (vector,deployed,effectiveness) values ('File Transfer / Email Attachment','10','7') Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/bash -c "exec nohup setsid echo \"DEBUG: INSERT into infection_vector (vector,deployed,effectiveness) values ('File Transfer / Email Attachment','10','7') \">>feed2vendorDB.log 2>&1 &"] in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xml_feed/sircc_agnostic/feed2vendorDB/feed2vendorDB.php on line 1454 Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated -1155268608) (tried to allocate 11080 bytes) in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xml_feed/sircc_agnostic/feed2vendorDB/feed2vendorDB.php on line 1447 [1]+ Exit 1 ./feed2vendorDB.sh Is this related to the max number of processes allowed in the memory, or a PHP-Apache prob??.
