+1 - and the same potential benefits exist for pmcd and pmproxy, of course. As discussed here ... http://www.pcp.io/pipermail/pcp/2016-May/010464.html http://www.pcp.io/pipermail/pcp/2016-May/010519.html ... the attached patch is incomplete and needs a little more work. Thanks for opening the BZ though - let's use it as a reminder that a patch like this one, and some QA testing work, is still needed. (In reply to Nathan Scott from comment #1) > +1 - and the same potential benefits exist for pmcd and pmproxy, of course. Not "of course". Compared to pmwebd & pmmgr, those daemons pose a much smaller load on libpcp and the system, and have been apprx. unaffected by crashes. > As discussed here ... > [...] > ... the attached patch is incomplete and needs a little more work. The patches are complete for pmmgr & pmwebd, the affected daemons. (In reply to Frank Ch. Eigler from comment #2) > > [...] Compared to pmwebd & pmmgr, those daemons pose a much > smaller load on libpcp and the system, [...] > pmcd and pmproxy can also potentially fail and so could benefit from this treatment, that's all I'm saying. In fact, you said it too... > > The patches are complete for pmmgr & pmwebd, the affected daemons. > Your own attached patch explicitly states that pmcd could benefit, and you are right there. No doubt that was why you attempted to make it work earlier (i.e. before reverting your own changes in that area). Anyway, in the interests of moving things along I have completed this work and it's all been merged upstream (commit b0b6ab0746 for reference). pcp-3.11.5-1.fc25 has been pushed to the Fedora 25 testing repository.

Created attachment 1189379 [details] implementation for systemd It has been reported that pmwebd sometimes crashes. While the cause(s) are under investigation, this reminds one of other cases where bugs in libpcp or the tools themselves have caused OOM or crashes for pmwebd and pmmgr. In order to protect the user from unnecessary outage of these services, they should be auto-restarted.
