Hello.<br>
<br>
The problem with dovecot/config processes never ending and spawning new<br>
one on each reload<br>
(<a href="https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-November/106058.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-November/106058.html</a>) is<br>
becoming a problem here:<br>
<br>
# ps aux|grep dovecot/config|wc -l<br>
206<br>
<br>
That's a lot of wasted memory - dovecot/config processes ate over 30GB<br>
of ram on 64GB box.<br>
<br>
Before killing dovecot/config processes:<br>
# free -m<br>
total used free shared buff/cache<br>
available<br>
Mem: 64437 61656 483 0 2297<br>
<br>
<br>
after:<br>
<br>
# free -m<br>
total used free shared buff/cache<br>
available<br>
Mem: 64437 23676 37822 0 2939<br>
<br>
<br>
Currently on dovecot 2.3.3. I guess it's very low priority to handle<br>
that, so: how can I figure out which dovecot/config processes are safe<br>
to be killed by external script?<br>
<br>
Does "all beside 2 newest ones" rule look sane?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
