I am using SuSE 10.1 and dovecot version 0.99.14-5.
dovecot 6267 660 0 14:45 ? 00:00:00 imap-login
dovecot 6285 660 0 14:45 ? 00:00:00 pop3-login
dovecot 6371 660 0 14:45 ? 00:00:00 imap-login
postfix 6454 12811 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 smtp -t unix -u
dovecot 6511 660 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 pop3-login
postfix 6550 12811 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 showq -t unix -u
dovecot 6576 660 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 imap-login
dovecot 6579 660 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 pop3-login
root 6580 666 1 14:46 ? 00:00:00 [dovecot-auth] <defunct>
ldb 6581 660 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 pop3
After dovecot has been up and running for a while (1 month or so),
it tends to get hung up and unresponsive. I do a "ps" and I have
a whole host of defunct processes.
To restore service, I have to manually kill all dovecot processes
and start it up again.
Is this a symptom of my version or my configuration?
Thanks,
LDB
