Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> defunct on AIX 4.1
Hi,
I'm ORACLE DBA on AIX 4.1.5 .
I've a program who always run in the system and receive messages from
ORACLE pipe. For each message the program called (listener) fork
another program.
The "listener" mark to receive a SIGCHLD signal with the sigaction
routine.
The "listener" receive a lots of messages and after the child ends i have a lot of defuncts.
I wrote a littler program who fork another program, and there wasn't any defunct. (even if in the child i open a file and doing malloc without closing the file or free the storage).
So my opinuoin is that somehow ORACLE responsible to the defuncts.
ORACLE 7.3.4
ProC 2.3.4
i use the ORA_CLIENT_LIB=shared (shared libraries).
Please respone to my email
