Hi Stefan and Andreas
Yesterday I reported I had some issues with the latest elog: but now I can reproduce one.
elog 2.9.2-a738232
I started a new entry, and attached three pdf files. I did not get the problem of not seeing the png thumnbnail
this time, although that is annoying if you want/need to adjust the thumbnail image before submitting.
However, if I then look at the running processes, I have the following listed (ps -A)
23677 tty1 00:00:04 elogd
23809 tty1 00:00:00 elogd <defunct>
23825 tty1 00:00:00 elogd <defunct>
23847 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
23677 was when I started the elogd daemon, having killed off the previous daemon etc for test purposes.
23809 and 23825 appeared after a couple of pdfs were added (second and third ones to be precise). They can only
be killed off by killing off the original running daemon. It appears that attaching a second and further pdf
attachments to any entry generates an elogd <defunct> in the processes list, although attaching a jpg in the
middle of a list of pdfs didn't (but the next pdf did). This is happening while adding attachments, that is the
Submit button has yet to be pressed, so it seems to be generated when the pdf file is being processed for some
reason.
You can end up with quite a stack of these in the process list!
I never saw this behaviour with the previous version I was running, SVN2475 I think.
By the way, I still cannot send an attachment over to this server (showing a screenshot) without the 502 error. |
