  34 <PRE>I've had this problem too (although I cannot reproduce it at the moment) -
  35 I've reported it on the non-coding list.  Andrew's suggestion there is to
  36 attach to the hung process with gdb and see what's going on (which I'm going
  37 to do when it next happens to me).
  38
  39 That said, I have a suspicion that I may have somehow prevented it; although
  40 so many variables have been changed I'm not sure what may have helped.
  41
  42 Off the top of my head:
  43
  44 1) I changed services to connect to unreal 3.2 on localhost - explicitly
  45 specifying the binding port (i.e. connecting from 127.0.0.1:7028 to
  46 127.0.0.1:7029),
  47
  48 2) enabled a PingFrequency of 30s across the link to try to keep things
  49 alive and healthy (i've also had problems with 3.2 complaining about Bad
  50 File Descriptors on the Services socket when select()ing the FDLIST),
  51
  52 3) Tried running services 'plain' from the commandline rather than from a
  53
  54 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile
  55 /usr/local/lib/ircservices/ircservices.pid \
  56                   --chuid irc:irc --exec /usr/local/sbin/ircservices &gt;
  57 /dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1
  58
  59 in a Debian /etc/init.d script.
  60
  61 Somewhere along there, it's decided to start behaving absolutely fine (after
  62 consistently hanging after the ircd closed its connection).  Services die
  63 cleanly on a /restart and /die work fine - and for that matter, so does
  64 /operserv restart, quit &amp; shutdown.  With the proviso of some thoroughly
  65 screwed up intermittent faults with +k modelocks disappearing on registered
  66 channels after services restarts - and xml-export doing some very mangled
  67 things. c.f. <A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices-coding">ircservices at ircservices.za.net.</A>

  81 &gt;<i> Hi,
  82 </I>&gt;<i>
  83 </I>&gt;<i> The other day I reported the database save bug when ircservices looses its
  84 </I>&gt;<i> uplink.  Just upgraded to 5.0.9 and am having another problem...
  85 </I>&gt;<i>
  86 </I>&gt;<i> When the uplink server closes the connection ircservices does not exit.
  87 </I>&gt;<i> Neither is there any log of such activity.  Further more, issuing a
  88 </I>SIGTERM
  89 &gt;<i> to the process after the uplink has died only results in &quot;Received
  90 </I>SIGTERM,
  91 &gt;<i> exiting.&quot; being logged, but the process does not die.  It takes a SIGKILL
  92 </I>to
  93 &gt;<i> kill it off.  And of course a SIGKILL doesn't go down well with saving the
  94 </I>&gt;<i> database to disk! :)
  95 </I>&gt;<i>
  96 </I>&gt;<i> Running Unreal 3.2 btw.
  97 </I>&gt;<i>
  98 </I>&gt;<i>
