      Yeah, i remember when that happened to AO. I was up at like 2am catching up on all the previous day's threads when i clicked on one and *BAM*, nothing loads. So i tried again and *BAM*, nothing. So i went downstairs and restarted the cable modem and *BAM*, it wasn't AO after all

        Could have been during a server reset. I do that periodically to kill zombie processes, and make sure everything is happy. It takes about 5 minutes for a reboot.

            Zombie processes? What are those?

            By the name I would take it as something that should have done it's job, and quit, but it didn't for some reason?

              Zombie processes and reboots....must be windows servers.

              3 of my Sun servers have been running perfectly (no reboots) for over 350 days each.

                funny thing is with all the pro *nix talk, no one seems to know that zombie processes are part of unix...

                all you have to do though is a restart on apache to clear any apache zombies.

                my favorite server of mine is the FreeBSD 3.3 box (yeah, old version) that has an uptime 1021 days and 11 hours at the time of this posting.... :-) yeah for *nix and yes this is a public internet machine hosting sites

                  Huh, i think i can make the very generalized statement that a LOT of people on AO like cats.

                    Never said that Unix doesn't. You shouldn't have to reboot a box to free up zombie processes in unix though. Although there are some apps with problems that occasionally have to be bounced.

                      Unless OSs change radically from where they are now, I won't ever willingly admin an MS server. I'd sooner farm the load on some of my Amigas.

                      The pig also is running on a box from Sun.

                      And yep, a zombie process is a program that ran, then locked up, crashed, or otherwised failed, and did not exit properly, freeing up the memory that was allocated to it.
