Hi, I've noticed that all versions of apache (1.3 to 2.2) will produce error log output like this,
[Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 2009] [notice] child pid 12345 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) In the case of a segmentation fault or anything that produces a core dump this is a relatively serious error but it's only marked at notice level due to setting of APLOG_NOTICE in the code. I had a look in latest trunk version and i see ap_process_child_status() has moved into mpm_unix.c but no changes wrt this logging from the default: case. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/server/mpm_unix.c?revision=808895&view=markup#l388 Should this be increased in severity? APLOG_ERR? I can see the benefit for anyone grep'ing for or automatically scanning/processing logs for unexpected conditions based on the [severity] tag. The core dumps might be more severe because of their ability to consume large amounts of disk space, particularly for folk using unique core names. regards |<evin -- Kevin J Walters Morgan Stanley k...@ms.com 25 Cabot Square Tel: 020 7425 7886 Canary Wharf Fax: 020 7056 6401 London E14 4QA
