Monitor process

This is what I'm seeing on the server as we are executing searches:

[root@eqd1 bin]# ps -ef|grep 'monitor'
livelink 18405 1 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 monitor (Texis)
livelink 18406 18405 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 [monitor] <defunct>
livelink 18407 1 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 monitor -d /usr/local/morph3/texis/testdb/ -z
livelink 18408 18407 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 [monitor] <defunct>
livelink 18410 1 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 monitor -d /usr/local/morph3/texis/eqd_non_secure/db2/ -z
livelink 18411 18410 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 [monitor] <defunct>
livelink 18655 1 0 16:13 ? 00:00:00 monitor -d /usr/local/morph3/texis/eqd/db2/ -z
livelink 18656 18655 0 16:13 ? 00:00:00 [monitor] <defunct>
livelink 18657 18655 0 16:13 ? 00:00:00 [monitor] <defunct>
livelink 18684 18410 0 16:14 ? 00:00:00 [monitor] <defunct>

The <defunct> processes are generated after a search has been performed.

Is this what you would expect to see or should I be concerned at the num monitor processes being spawned.

There should be one overall monitor and one for each database. Possibly another for a database when doing automatic metamorph index updating (chkind).

The defunct ones are ones that the parent just didn't get around to noticing yet. Do they linger for a long time?

Check the INSTALLDIR/texis/monitor.log to see if the monitor's reporting any problems.

Hi

It does seem that these processes are staying around for 7-8 minutes. In addition we are now also seeing the following error intermittently when searches are executed.

Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, itdcfix@hants.gov.uk and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

What's in the server error log for those?
