Re: Many instances of newpki-server running

Hum....
That sounds like a memory leak, that is definitively not nornal.
Does the memory usage grow over time ?

Hi Paul,

interesting enough, on my server-2.0.0-beta3 running on RH9.0 I could not
observe any troubles with to many spawned procecces.
However, newpki_server is a memory boozer. But that depends on entities
running. My 9 entities pull VSZ=727.840 (0.7 GB). This exceeds by a factor
of 20 all other processes running on my system. The other machine with 2
entities pulls VSZ=520.000.
This means, the mem managemnt of newpki needs an urgent revision.

Also, the logs written into mysql exceed any reasonable amount. I alredy
made a remark earlier and Frederic responded.
From my standpoint these points do make productive use of newpki -in the
state of beta3 revision- quite questionable.

Betreff: Many instances of newpki-server running
I have successfully compiled newpki-server and client on Redhat 7.3,
gcc 3.2.3 and wxGTK 2.4.2.
I have set up a PKI entity and a number of other entities as per the
latest HOWTO.  Everything seems to work fine.
However, I have observed that even after closing all the newpki-client
programs (run on the same machine as newpki-server), there a a lot of
newpki-server processes still running (approximately 80!). These have
been there for at least 3 hours with no newpki-client activity at all.
There were not that many when newpki-server was started from the
/etc/rc.d/init.d script.
I presume this is not supposed to happen:-)

Is there a problem with reaping child processes somewhere?

They disappear if /etc/rc.d/init.d/newpki-server stop is executed.

Paul Freeman
