what can i do serious???

We have this on some DA servers too
There's a very simple solution really..

Open up /etc/init.d/httpd in your favorite editor, and look up the part:


# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status $httpd
RETVAL=$?
;;
restart)
stop
start
;;
condrestart)


And add 1 line in the restart part:

restart)
stop
ps aux | grep httpd | grep -v restart | grep -v grep | awk '{print "kill -9 " $2}' | sh
start
;;


If apache fails to stop, it'll forcibly be killed with a kill -9 this way..

what does that extra line do exactly? I'm having some issues w/ apache segfaulting quite a bit, and running my load sky high

[jlasman]

kill nicely tells a process to exit.

kill -9 just goes ahead and kills it.

The normal script will gracefully ask for apache to stop and shut down properly, after that has been done that line will look if there's more apache processes being stuck and thus not listening to a request to stop, and if so kill them the hard way..

Plain translated:
get the process list
only show httpd processes
filter out the init.d/httpd restart line
print the processnumbers in the 2nd ps column of the remaining lines and send a kill -9 to those processnumbers
