PIDcheck says that the housekeeping routine should look for out-of-control or dead Interchange child processes and kill them if they've been running more than that many seconds: http://www.icdevgroup.org/docs/confs/PIDcheck.html ChildLife limits how long a child is allowed to live, primarily for PreFork mode persistent children. For example, you may want to say that a child can only live for 10 minutes total, regardless of whether it's met its MaxRequestsPerChild limit yet: http://www.icdevgroup.org/docs/confs/ChildLife.html Most likely you do not need ChildLife, but you should almost always have PIDcheck set to a couple of minutes, so you don't have runaway child processes going longer than that.

Thanks Jon. I have jobs that execute for over 2 minutes, but PIDcheck is set to 120. Shouldn't PIDcheck be killing those jobs off at 2 minutes? - Grant _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
