Hi, I recently had a problem come up with my D1 app. I have the app writing the PID to the database at start and stop of a particular route, and I have two runs that never completed. I did an strace on the worker and it looked like this: [root@host ~]# strace -p 26508 Process 26508 attached - interrupt to quit flock(10, LOCK_EX lsof on that process gave me starman 26508 apps 10wW REG 8,22 0 24 /tmp/3j6mXZXwWM (deleted) (not sure, but I think the 10 in the flock call and the 10 in the 10wW mean that we're talking about the same file?). After a little more digging I found that every starman worker had that file open (except with 10w instead of 10wW for all but the one above and stracing a few of the other workers showed the same output ( "flock(10, LOCK_EX" ) as above. I started it up from a script with qx{ plackup --server Starman --port $port --workers 50 --env $env --pid=$run_file --daemonize bin/app.pl --error-log logs/$env.log } Anyone have any idea what that file would be, and whether this is indicative of any problem? Normally I expect to see a "listen(..." call when I do an strace, which I think means the worker is waiting for a connection. This looks to me like it's trying to get a lock on a file to write to it, but I don't know what that file would be, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. mike
