That's interesting. They're supposed to be cleaned up, but there's probably some edge case where they're not... Which processes are leaving proc files behind, and how were those processes started/stopped? > Is it safe to delete all files in proc_path during start? It's safe if the shutdown fully completed and the corresponding processes aren't running anymore. I would not assume this to be the case; I would check. If processes are still running for some reason, it might be fine to remove their proc file, or it might cause the process to crash later when it tries to clean up after itself and exit. I'm not sure. If you've already restarted and then some leftover old process crashes, the logs will be confusing.
