[cobalt-users] RaQ3i - error message with "httpd restart"

[David <david_dean@xxxxxxx>]

Every month we restart our RaQ3i's httpd process to clean out any cobwebs.
Last night while doing so, we received the following message after issuing
"httpd restart" to one of the machines:

[root@ns1 httpd]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Shutting down Web Service: httpd
pidof: can't get program name from /proc/471/stat

Does anyone know what this is referring to? I checked in /proc and 471 doesn't
even exist. We've never encountered this message previously and we've not made
any recent changes to this particular machine. -BUT- the box is housed at dN
and they notified us last week that they would be powering off the racks at
their facility on the 29/30th of June to upgrade their backup generators and
UPS systems. I'm *SURE* they didn't go around and power-off each machine the
proper way, I know they just pulled the plug on each rack, then rebotted an
hour or so later when power was restored. Could this be what's behind this
message, should we be concerned? And what (if anything) should we do so we
don't see it pop-up again the next time httpd is restarted?

Thanks for any insight!

David
