SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1 >Description: When we feel the site response speed is slow, we restart Apache server. Sometime the improvement is very little. It seems that some httpd process instances hung even though they look like healthy, so that the server restart act would not help too much. What's the possible causes for this ? Does reboot the server help ? Are there any other solutions other than reboot ? The error log shows something like "Caught SIGTERM, shutting down" and "child pid xxxxx exit signal segmentation fault" Prompt responses are highly appreciated. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Reboot. But it seems not a good solution, especially in the peek hours. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
