Re: Apache / 30,000 Perl script serving limit

Is it just me or does the number of 30,000 feel "artificial" for a computer? I mean normally all "natural" boundaries are powers of 2. So as a matter of despair: Do you see something suspicious when you do a system wide full text search for that number? (Maybe start looking in /etc and ~ first)

When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's difficult to remember that your original purpose was to drain the swamp.

I have done a few grep around, and i am still looking into it, but in the meanwhile I have stumbled upon this HP-UX information sheet, and we can see the 30000 number coincides with the failsafe and default value for process_id_max. But these settings seem to work correctly, past pid 30000 the iteration starts over with a low pid number and continues to increment. Still, impossible to call more than 30,000 perl scripts per apache 'restarts'.	[reply]
