Since upgrading to facter 1.5.0 with puppet 0.24.4 on CentOS 5.2 machines using lutter RPMs I am seeing zombies left after puppet runs. root 392 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

Z 03:01 0:00 [sh] <defunct> Once I restart puppet they all go away: % ps auxw|grep defun|wc -l 22 % /etc/init.d/puppet restart % ps auxw|grep defun|wc -l 0 I've seen this on 5 of my machines now since Friday. I do not have a way to actually trigger it as a means of reproducing the behavior so cannot for example downgrade my facter and try to trigger the problem to pin it down to just this, but my only change since Friday has been the new release of facter. I've ran facter many many times by hand and were unable to reproduce by just using facter, so I'm guessing it might be something to do with interaction between puppet and facter so I made a ticket in the puppet queue. ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
