Have you made any changes to the database config files (categories etc.) lately? gnatsd 3.x does not handle syntax errors there gracefully and may leave stale lock files behind when it dies.

Hello,

        Thanks for the= pointer. I think as you have pointed, the gnatsd daemon
        might be cras= hing. There is a "kcore" file created in /proc directory.
        Is there a wa= y that I can debug this "kcore" file to know why gnatsd
        is crashing?<= /FONT>

        I checked up t= he files under gnats-adm directory and found it to be
        of right synt= ax.

        Does "gna= tsd" daemon crash only because that the database config files
        are not in th= e right syntax OR are there any other reason that it can crash?

        Please let me = know.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramesh Chandra

This probably means that gnatsd crashes while processing = your changes. Have
you made any changes to the database config files (categ= ories etc.) lately?
gnatsd 3.x does not handle syntax errors there gracefull= y and may leave
stale lock files behind when it dies. You should probabl= y have a look at
your config.
