Stranded PHP processes and ProcessExplorer

Does anyone know what it means if I see PHP processes in the process
tree at the base level, instead of under the IIS worker process?

I do nothing but web serving off of the box.

These processes that are not under the IIS worker process seem to be
stranded/hung. They are never cleaned up by any garbage collection and
I have to kill them manually. They also always have a fairly low memory
usage, potentially indicating that they fail before loading completely.

Could it be that the execution of the process fails early enough that
ProcessExplorer doesn't see them as being executed by IIS?

I've been running around in circles as to what is causing these
stranded processes. Any sugestions are greatly appreciated.

Josh,

Haven't you gotten enough help on this in your other thread? If
necessary you should change the subject on the thread instead of
starting an entire new thread (and losing all the good info in the
original thread).

Looked like you were actually making some progress with Chung's help.

Hello All, In IIS 6.0 We have a concept of worker processes and application pools. As I understand it, we can have multiple worker process per appliction pool. Each worker process is dedicated to a pool. If I assign only one application to a applicaton pool and have multiple worker processes assigned to that pool. Will my application be processed by many worker processes?

Alright, based a on discussion on this mailing list, I've started to wonder, why use threads vs processes. So, If I have a system that has a large area of shared memory, which would be better? I've been leaning towards threads, I'm going to say why. Processes seem fairly expensive from my research so far. Each fork copies the entire contents of memory into the new process. There's also a more expensive context switch between...

I have a bunch of processes to run and each one needs its own working directory. I'd also like to know when all of the processes are finished.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
