-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think this may have been me moving some sites but not creating their log directories. There were many errors trying to write to and rotate those log files which may have caused a bunch of processes to go zombie. Ken Rick Bradshaw wrote:
This sounds like a scan, whether it is a haxor or google, we should find out and possibly add in some .htaccess foo to keep this from continuing.

I took a look at the processes on wind and found that there were 464 apache2 processes, when I did an /etc/init.d/apache2 stop, there were 456 remaining. I ran pkill apache2 which got rid of almost all of them (kill -9 on the rest) and then restarted apache2 which gave me 8 new processes. Wind now has under 250 processes, and all the web-sites are responding again. In addition the load average dropped to ~0.

FYI:
Web sites hosted on breeze and wind went offline ~0215hrs this morning (thats my best estimate right now). I restarted apache on both and the alarms are clearing.
