Hi,

I'm noticing an issue with the latest version of Smokeping & FCGI in that it 
appears to spawn new processes without killing old ones correctly and I'm 
wondering if anybody else sees the same. Over a period of a week or two this 
slowly fills up the memory on my server until either the box crashes or I 
manage to kill the processes.

Over the course of the last 10 days I ended up with 200+ of the following 
processes which I'm assuming is attributed to FCGI as if I hit the GUI a few 
times it will spawn another one.

apache    1088     1  0 03:19 ?        00:00:03 /usr/bin/perl 
/opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config
apache    2794     1  0 11:47 ?        00:00:02 /usr/bin/perl 
/opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config
apache    7109     1  0 12:40 ?        00:00:03 /usr/bin/perl 
/opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config
apache    7607     1  0 06:32 ?        00:00:04 /usr/bin/perl 
/opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi /opt/smokeping/etc/config

For now I have a script that runs periodically and kills any old processes but 
I haven't done anything special with smokeping or FCGI & I'm using the .fcgi 
that comes bundled with smokeping - is there something I've missed or is this a 
bug?

Also along the same lines - I find that I have to restart apache after updating 
the config file in order to see the changes reflected in the GUI.

Thanks in advance.
