As you can see psaadmin is not picking up its dead processes due to a little bug. I have not been able to isolate what bit of code is causing this but it is very slopy coding and must be fixed.

At times there can be upto 100 of these dead processes.

I have been hunting around many forums regarding this problem and it is quite prevalent.

Hi!

Sadly I can confirm this on one of our systems. psa version is psa-7.5.3-suse9.1.build75050506.13.
Fixing would be fine.

Bye,

Thomas

I have also run across this (not frequently thankfully) on RH9/Plesk 7.5.3 as well.

Luckily not very often... knock on wood
