Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Httpd processes exist for more than two days

Thanks Joshua for the idea. We would try it.

We actually have more than 20 such processes even after server has been
idle.

Btw, what is the time after which a process dies in case there is no
further request and the number of spare servers is more than 2?

Thanks in advance,

Pawan

Yes, although it may be more like 3 or 4 processes because of certain
support processes.

If you have more than that when the server is idle, then you should
fire up mod_status and look at the server-status handler to see what
they are doing.
