Here's the deal - I can't restart apache service httpd restart or service httpd stop service httpd start
without manually first terminating a bunch of hung processes... # service httpd stop Shutting down httpd: [ OK ] # # service httpd start Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs I then have to manually grep and kill -KILL (a regular SIGTERM won't work) each and every instance of httpd still running (which can be a considerable number, up to 100)... since I started the server this morning, there's only 2: apache 21670 0.9 3.8 122440 29912 ?

However, this morning, the server died at 3:06 a.m., and did not restart (some cron process, I'm sure)...

I've periodically dug through Google and other sites to determine if this is a known problem, and I've been unable to find anything that clearly points to the same problem, along with a resolution... any ideas on how to address this?
