Got a redhat 7.1 server of ours that seems to leave tons (I mean tons) of processes that are no longer active sleeping. This pushes the load average up over 60, but doesn\'t of course impact the server speed since none of the processes are active.

Any idea what might be causing this to happen?

Seems to occur about every 5 or so days of uptime.

regards,

Simon
