Re: [foxboro] Defunct process?

If the defunct process goes away, it simply means that the parent does not
check frequently.


If the defunct processes accumulate, it means we have a problem.


So, don't delete them for a period of time and see if they eventually go
away.

        I don't either, that's why I threw it out to the list.

         >Seriously, do they accumulate?

        No, not that I know of. But like I described earlier, if I removed
the 
        zombie process, then enter and exit the historian configurator, 
        there'll be a new defunct process, also a child of hist_srv. Weird!

        And as far as I know, the historians are functioning fine.

        Thanks for weighing, although I'm no closer to finding out why.

        Regards,

        Duc
