Re^4: Apache / 30,000 Perl script serving limit

I can tell you are very knowledgable in these things, Almut. I will try to provide awnsers to these questions as best as I can. For the number of process used each hour, the information has been given to me by a system Admin. We used HP-UX kcusage (watching maxuprc) and while the test was running, we watched the nproc value, and it barely increased.

I shall also enquire into the info in ps and top, I have not yet done this

Finally, the restart is merely graceful restart from the webmin console, and all is well thereafter for another 30,000 request exactly.

To see if it changes anything, I will now proceed to Stop and Start the server instead.

Just to follow-up on the restarting: if "graceful" already suffices to reset the problem, using "stop" and "start" instead wouldn't contribute anything to solving the issue... — I guess I just misread your "require a reboot" to mean the machine would need to be rebooted (which would've surprised me...)
