Hi
Debian 3.1, kernel 2.4.27-2-generic alpha GNU/Linux
clamd daemon 0.88.2 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: alpha, CPU: alpha) with
ExiScan.
I have been getting hundreds of defunct clamd processes per day.
clamav 26088 18934 0 13:54 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct>
clamav 26197 18934 0 13:55 ? 00:00:01 [clamd] <defunct>
clamav 26287 18934 0 13:56 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct>
clamav 26536 18934 0 13:59 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct>
clamav 26736 18934 0 14:01 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct>
clamav 26804 18934 0 14:01 ? 00:00:00 [clamd] <defunct>
I first noticed this when my system became un-responsive and I had to
hit the re-set button.
The processes are all children spawned by clamd which is being called
by exim (exiscan) to virus-check mail. The processes are left in a
zombie state when they should exit gracefully.
I have tried getting some help from the clamav list but that what we
tried has not been successful in stopping the problem. I did send
some strace output to one helpful user.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Can anyone offer any advice?
TIA.
Dp.
