Re: Postmaster won't -HUP

Wow! Thanks for all the replies!

The version I'm running is 7.0.0

	It could certainly be that the connections are remaining open and the 
server isn't dying due to that. I'll play with it a little when I get the 
chance, probably this weekend (when clients aren't hitting the server.) 
Thanks for the tip on -INT and -TERM.

	As for the query I'm running, it was simply  select * from bigtable (about 
2-300k lines) where
						 firstname=<obscure fname> and
						lastname=<obscure lname> and
						DOB=<the exact DOB for the above named individual>

	Essentially, the query was hard-coded to pull a specific record from the 
data and disply it on the page. While the dataset is  medium to large 
(IMHO) it shouldn't peg two 500's. The problem happened the first time 
reliably when I ran the query. I was using phpdb for the php interface (I 
have stopped using that for the time being, because it maxes the system 
every time.)
