Shutdown Failures

[ostony]

Anyone have any idea why all of my processes would fail on shutdown?

[root@myserver conf]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Shutting down http: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
[root@myserver conf]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart
Shutting down named: kill: (18234) - No such pid
[FAILED]
Starting named: [ OK ]

Seems that they start up again, but why the failure? I've had a few segmentation faults as well, but not as root, only as a common user.

Thanks,
Tony

It appears that your pid files are either not being created or being created in a unknown location. Have you changed the default location of your PID files in any configuration file?

No - I haven't changed those locations. That's why I'm wondering if it could be a memory issue. Bad chip perhaps? If so, why wouldn't I get segfaults as root too?
