"fetchd" Process Highlighted in Red under "Service monitoring"
Support knowledgebase (rsimai_slox4_proc_bug)
Applies to
Openexchange Server: Version 4.0.3
Symptom
The process fetchd is highlighted in red in the web configuration interface overview "Monitor" -> "Service monitoring". Thus,
it is apparently not running.
The output of rcfetchd status is always unused.
Cause
A bug in Kernel 2.4.19 causes checkproc to display a wrong service status.
In a similar way, the commands
rcfetchd status
rcfetchd stop
do not currently work.
Solution
Unfortunately none yet. We trust that we will soon be able to provide you with a kernel fixed accordingly.
Workaround
You can use the following command to view the status of fetchd:
ps aux | grep fetchd
If the service is running, the output will be similar to:
wwwrun 23415 0.0 2.3 10576 9080 ? S 13:44 0:00 [fetchd.pl]
To stop the service, use the command
killall fetchd.pl
Even if rcfetchd start seems to work, make sure you do not start the service multiple times.
Again, checkproc cannot determine the status either and starts an additional fetchd process each time.
