"Again we are finding that since the last cPanel update, we frequently discover one or two processes, usually FTP or MYSQL, that run for hundreds of hours, gradually eating up more and more CPU as time goes on.\r\n\r\nThese processes have to be killed with the -9 option, e.g.\r\n\r\nkill -9 2232\r\n\r\n\r\nThe loads that this kind of thing produces tend to generate complaints if we happen to miss this on one of our cPanel servers.\r\n\r\nI suppose I could stick on a bandaid by doing a cron that will reboot FTP and MYSQL every hour. But, really guys, this kind of thing just should not occur. Is there anything else we can do upgrade out of this bug, or to implement a fix here?\r\n\r\nWe are currently running:\r\n\r\nWHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.1-R30  \r\nRedHat Enterprise 3 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0"
