Yes, this server is now in production. > If you are running our of memory, then something in your application (got CFX?) is causing > the child threads to increase dramatically until such time as the server vomits and dies. We don't use CFX per se, but do spawn some external processes (including virus checking of uploaded files). Are you suggesting that these [threads ?] may not be returning which means that CF starts another in it's place ?. There's nothing in the logs to investigate - is there somewhere else I should look ?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux "threading" Linux does not have threading itself, instead, it has threading "emulation". This means that a parent and children threads display as single processes instead of thread -> child (as on solaris). What you are seeing is normal, it's Java starting the parent and forking the children. This is not a DoS attack. I take it you are running under load Simon? If you are running our of memory, then something in your application (got CFX?) is causing the child threads to increase dramatically until such time as the server vomits and dies.
