cmd.php process hangs every once in a while?

[funbags]

The cmd.php process hangs every once in a while? I am not sure which poll is causing it to do this, it might be weatherbug. None the less why doesnt it kill itself after a certain amount of seconds? I have to manually do killall php to clear out those old cmd.php processes.


For example this is what ps aux | grep cmd.php looks like:

Code: Select all

fileserver:~# ps aux | grep cmd.php
www-data 26667  0.0  0.4  18120  8944 ?        S    02:20   0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cmd.php 0 3
www-data 28881  0.0  0.4  18120  8944 ?        S    03:45   0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cmd.php 0 3
www-data 30457  0.0  0.4  18124  8948 ?        S    04:45   0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cmd.php 0 3

www-data 32536  0.0  0.4  18124  8948 ?        S    06:05   0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cmd.php 0 3
www-data  1866  0.0  0.4  18124  8948 ?        S    07:05   0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cmd.php 0 3

www-data  5022  0.0  0.4  18120  8944 ?        S    09:05   0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cmd.php 0 3
www-data  6074  0.0  0.4  18124  8948 ?        S    09:45   0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cmd.php 0 3
root      8732  0.0  0.0   2848   704 pts/1    S+   11:23   0:00 grep cmd.php

This is the log file example:

Code: Select all

11/29/2006 09:49:54 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 292 seconds exceeded. Exiting.

Thanks in advance!
