Hello.....

First of all my specs:

Code:
Timeout 12
KeepAlive Off
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 20
MaxSpareServers 30
StartServers 30
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild 200
WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.15.0-R17665 at FC6

The problem is this (from Apache Status):

Code:
Server Built: Oct 19 2007 02:36:32

Well... as you can see, I like to configure a top of 200 for MaxRequestsPerChild, forcing childs to keep fresh and renew them, just to keep clean my memory and resources..

I do not know if it has to do with it, but I have my servers plenty of "Gracefully finishing" child process... they are there, forever and ever....

If I try to do a graceful restart to httpd, it really do, but the G child procceses keep being there..... they are something like "terminator childs" eating my resources with no sense at all.

As you can see at apache status, this "finishing" child is there for 38450 seconds since beginning of most recent request, so.......................... mmmmmmmmmm........ I think the question is obvious.

Only an httpd restart does the best for this G proccesses.

Someone could please tell me where is the problem?
