Hi, we've seen our R-GMA service go nuts a few times since upgrading to 2.3.1. I just now caught it in the act: load on the machine was about 150. Checking, there were an awful lot of 'ps' processes floating around. Here is a snippet of the output of pstree: ├─java ├─crond─┬─86*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgm+ │ ├─4*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─2*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─5*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─6*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─2*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─4*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma-se+ │ ├─crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma-se+ │ ├─5*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma-se+ │ ├─2*[crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma+ │ ├─crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma-se+ │ ├─crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma-se+ │ ├─crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma-se+ │ └─crond───sh───sh───edg-rgma-se+ looks like the culprits are: - edg-rgma-restart - edg-rmga-service-status - edg-rgma-servlet-status - edg-rgma-servlet-monitor and there are hundreds of processes running that are all trying to stop tomcat4 ... anybody else seeing this??
