PIDcheck

## PIDcheck

If non-zero, enables a check of running MiniVend processes during the housekeeping routine. If a process has been running (or is hung) for longer than PIDcheck seconds then a kill -9 will be issued and the server count decremented.

During the housekeeping routine, the number of servers checked by MaxServers will be recounted based on PID files.

Default is 0, disabling the check. It is recommended that you use this only for MiniVend 3.12 or higher, and it is recommended that you do use it for that version.

        PIDcheck   300

If you have long-running database builds, you will need to disable this, set it to a high value (perhaps 600, for 10 minutes), or use the offline script.
