: hi,
: What are zombie's anyway ?!
Remnants of child processes that have finished. Don't know
exactly how it works, but I think the parent is supposed to
'wait' on them. Anyway - they use (essentially) no resources
and can safely be ignored.

hi,
I've just installed CERN HTTPD 3.0A which is the latest I think !.
I hoped I would solve the problem of the Zombie processes i have, mostly
3 - 4 of them.
This is what i see with 'top' :
(httpd) <zombie> <zombie> <zombie>
They go away if the http is not used, That's an improvement over
previous versions .
What are zombie's anyway ?!
grtz

1. Was I asleep when CERN/W3C httpd release 3.0A came out?
http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Daemon/ says that 3.0A was 'generated' on
the 15th July.
I may have been asleep but I can't remember seeing an announcement
anywhere about this.
Also, having woken up, I can't find any documentation of the bug
fixes and enhancements that have been included. Can anybody
enlighten me?
Many thanks,
Steve.
P.S. One thing I have found out - it is now possible to specify
URLs for error response documents (in fact any response from what
I can make out).
