apache killed, not restarted

[danielaugustus]

strace gave me :

kill(7699, SIGUSR1) = 0
waitpid(-1, 0xbfffaddc, WNOHANG) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1078764050
kill(7701, SIGUSR1) = 0
waitpid(-1, [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0], WNOHANG) = 7699
waitpid(-1, 0xbfffaddc, WNOHANG) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
+++ killed by SIGKILL +++



This is the stuff that killed apache. Well, I could trace this. Appears a RHE 3.0 ES problem with USR1. Agan this problem with redhat. Or maybe the call that cpanel does is incorrect ? This is happenning constantly.

I can reproduce the problem on any RHE 3.0 ES with cpanel ... Tryed on seven servers. Both the problem.

I'm running RHE3 without problems on "2.4.21-9.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Feb 9 22:26:51 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux"

How do you recreate the problem that you have?

Although I do not use RHE, I have read many posts stating that using kernel 2.6.3 got rid of a lot of problems.

[danielaugustus]

Is easy. Just by using the same kernel and ANY cpanel version with mailscanner. without it happens too.... I'll try to update kernel.

[danielaugustus]

My up2date is not working, I dont know why. I'll try to fix and see kernel update.
