Once a week, at about 2am, every apache-using box does "apachectl restart". These restarts are staggered so we only have 2 or 3 machines restarting apache on any given day. There shouldn't be any memory leaks in apache, of course, but it seems to get flaky when left up for months at a time and serving millions of requests. I do the same thing on my personal website, but more often since the slice only has 256M of RAM.... -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
