We are running a DMX-4 (SAN) and Solaris 10. We discovered that the irccd daemon spaws defunct processes every so often. Does anyone know how to correct this behavior?
How are you detecting defuncts? Just a cron'ed ps -ef/aux script running on the Solaris box as part of health monitoring?
How many defunct processes will IRCCD build up? Is it always one or two at a maximum?
RM Client will use perhaps (depending on your configuration) one or two defunct processes and this is normal. The defunct processes enables the RM Client to reserve certain resources (socket/ip) to ensure the next time it requires those resources to operate, it will release the defunct process and use that reserved socket/port.
