Subject: fork() errors lead to a completely dead unicorn
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2014 11:13:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAF5DW8JLdni=CF-RRJg-7Btf+sy2eFr_pxY1nPPG+BFrD7P5MQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi - on SmartOS & Solaris, we occasionally run into problems where
unicorn receives USR2 to reload itself, but can't fork off its workers
due to not having enough RAM. It then kills all of its workers and
sits there failing to process any requests. Unfortunately, the master
process stays alive - if it actually died, we'd be able to
automatically restart it.
Can we do anything to handle this more elegantly?
Jonathan
