Run away processes

Greg Myers
For some strange reason the snmpd daemon went haywire on my firewall tonight eating up 95%+ of CPU.  I killed the process and it restarted itself and immediately went back up to 95%+.

So, I did a reboot and it went back down to normal..  What would cause this to happen?

    I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but I can't seem to fix it. Where does ASL start and manage MRTG? For some reason the charts stop updating at random times. I'll get a notification that the SNMPd has been restarted, and that's when some things stop. I've stopped and restarted SNMPd myself and it doesn't seem to help. Only when I reboot ASL does it start charting again, but only until SNMPd restarts. I've checked cron and checked the processes but I still can't tell how ASL has MRTG running. I'm currently running v2.0.16 and this problem has been happening since the upgrade to 2.0+. Can anyone help?

    Hi Greg, hi spid3r,

    could you please provide some more details.

    Do you have heavy traffic through the firewall?
    Is the problem reproducable, after reboot?
    What kind of hardware do you use?
    Do you use HTTP proxy?

    MRTG gets started every 5 min. with cron.
    It is based in /var/chroot-snmp.mrtg, the config
    file can be found in its etc directory.

    read you
