The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Eric Sandquist" <address@concealed>]

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but for some reason
sympa.pl, task_manager.pl, bounced.pl, and archived.pl all die on a fairly
regular basis.

I have searched though the logs and have found nothing.  It seems to happen
about an hour+ after restarting sympa, but has happened in as little as 10
minutes.  The only thing that shows in the log is that sympa.pl and the
others nolonger appear in the report.  I have logging set for 4(debug)...
wwsympa.fcgi is working fine, and it's logging continues.

I have almost no hair left :/

I have found no evidence of anything "killing" them in any of the logs.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing these processes to die and
leave no record that anything had gone wrong?  I keep looking for a pattern
or clue but have found none.  I have been experiementing with restarting
sympa with a cron job every 10-20 minutes, but this solution creates its own
sets of problems.  I would rather figure out what is causing the 4 of them
to die and correct the issue.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Sincerely,
