We have found that some sites, when restarted with "svc -t", go into a funky half-shut-down state and stay there. I don't know why, and it seems to be very consistently some sites (all using PG) and not others. For those sites we use "svc -k", in other words send the kill signal instead of the terminate signal. If you have things set up properly it doesn't really matter, the site should come back up either way. I don't know if this is your problem or not, but it's worth a try.

I'd like to do that, but often when I do a restart I get several postgresql threads that chew up nearly all the cpu cycles for 30 minutes or more and effectively block access to my site. It appears to be a shorter wait if I do a restart each day, but I'm loathe to risk making the
site unavailable for a long time even in the wee hours.

Any idea what could cause this?  How to fix it?  A year ago I did not
observe this behavior.
