                Hi,

                I'm running the beta4 with compile time "Sat Oct 30 19:40:13 EDT 2010" on an atom board and having the same zombie issues as described above.

                regards

                /F

                    I'm not sure that check_reload_status was rebuilt after that fix went in. I just rebuilt it by hand and restarted the builds. Try again after the next new snapshot.

                        I found the same issue on my system.so I installed the cron package from the pfsense GUI.
                        this is my cron list:
                        0 3 * * * killall check_reload_status
                        1 3 * * * /usr/local/sbin/check_reload_status

                          Heh 'typo' was preventing the fix from actually being applied.
                          Newer snaps have the correct fix.

                            Installed the update from 2010-11-09 16:xx (i386).  The process count is no longer climbing out of control.
                            Thanks!
