[CPANEL-27140] - cpsrvd zombie process
Hoping someone can advise a safe way to resolve this unusual situation.
All sites / cPanels / WHM on my servers are working and accessible, but today after I upgraded geoipupdate (required new version to get a key and receive updates after MaxMind's changes yesterday / to make CSF work correctly with it) I noticed I now have 1 zombie process on each server. Strangely, the zombie process is cpsrvd.
ps aux|grep cpsrvd
root 12473 0.0 0.0 108996 23204 ? S Dec25 1:29 cpsrvd (SSL) - waiting for connections
root 3263193 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 21:09 0:00 [cpsrvd (SSL) - ]
root 3263300 0.0 0.0 105376 916 pts/0 S+ 21:09 0:00 grep cpsrvd
ps aux |grep "defunct"
root 3264595 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 21:12 0:00 [cpsrvd (SSL) - ]
root 3264655 0.0 0.0 105376 916 pts/0 S+ 21:12 0:00 grep defunct
I tried some basics, such as running upcp and /scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd but neither has made a difference.
I've been lucky enough to not ever had to deal with zombie processes before, but that also means I'm unsure of a safe way to approach this. I've done quite a bit of reading over the past couple hours and can't seem to find anyone who has encountered and resolved this.
Can anyone advise?
Thank you. And wishing you all a safe happy healthy New Year!
