For the last 3 days privoxy has been leaving defunct processes, not cleaning up after itself. SuSE 9.0 cable connect privoxy-3.0.2-59 packaged by suse This happened (as I recall) once before some time ago and a simple 'rcprivoxy restart' solved the situation. But not now :-( privoxy eventually uses up its limit of process id's and then my web browser is no longer able to update particular pages I monitor during the day. The only memorable system change that I have made lately was a kernel update: Linux wahoo 2.4.21-238-default #1 Thu Jul 29 17:53:59 UTC 2004 I have temporarily aleviated the situation via a cron job running every 4 minutes 'rcprivoxy restart', a temporary and unacceptable solution. thanks, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
