Hey guys,

 Well it took a little while for me to be able to reproduce this. It seems
that this problem is intermittent and sporadic.

But I tried running a sh -x /etc/init.d/httpd restart command once I
reallized I had another incident of this and this is what I saw as the
output:

Not really sure how to interpret that, unfortunately.


However looked for the pid file for apache and noticed that it DOESN'T
EXIST!

[root at beta:~] #ls -l /var/run/httpd/
total 0


Well, that would explain why the init script isn';t able to kill the
process. Maybe puppet is doing something weird with that pid file? I don't
really know offhand, but I guess I will have to investigate that.

Thanks for all your input.
