Stray rails processes

[teej_m]

I'll have to say sorry for crying wolf on this one. I tried reinstalling the ruby-lsapi gem (just in case it was using the old one) and I managed to get it working from there. I'll stop by if it seems to be causing issues again!

Change of plans. At the moment I have have a few Ruby-lsapi processes that are using cpu and memory and a mysql connection open. Mysql shows that the connection has been idle for 15+ minutes now. There are a few processes like this, and when strace'd, they show nothing happening.

Maybe they are in a infinity loop.
You can try gdb attach to those processes.

gdb
attach <pid_of_ruby>
bt

Debugging with gdb has pointed me in the right direction. Thanks for your help.
