Package: nagios-statd-server Version: 3.12-1 Severity: normal I am running nagios-statd on a number of machines, and periodically for reasons I cannot explain, a set of those machines suddenly stop responding to nagios-statd requests and I get a lot of nagios alerts "(Service Check Timed Out)". When i go to the system and investigate, I find that there are *two* nagios-statd processes running, not one:
nobody 5431 0.0 0.0 6368 2672 ? Ss Feb21 0:13 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/nagios-statd --pid=/var/run/nagios-statd.pid nobody 13520 0.0 0.0 6368 2340 ? S Mar01 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/nagios-statd --pid=/var/run/nagios-statd.pid The most recent one was one that was just started. This is puzzling because nagios-statd normally cannot start if something else is bound on its port (1040), but for some reason this second one has... and while it is running, the first one is unable to process requests. I have to kill both of these processes and then start up nagios-statd again for things to work like normal. This is quite frustrating when it happens, because it requires killing two processes on a number of machines. I'm interested in any suggestions for troubleshooting/debugging as I am somewhat at a loss. thanks, micah Note: this is different than #562645 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-vserver-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nagios-statd-server depends on: ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o nagios-statd-server recommends no packages. nagios-statd-server suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
