Simple Client/Server lock up

[Michael Greer]

PxPlus 15.1 running under windows.  Every so often (1 to 2 weeks) the cshost program refuses to spawn new sessions.  This means that no new users can connect to the app, an when our menu attempts to launch a function in a newly spawned session, that also fails.  Restarting the service (which in this particular instance is running under srvany) cures the issue.  Any insight here would be appreciated.

When this happens check the task manager to make sure there aren't any zombie processes hanging around.

We have seen something similar when a client had a error handler that got stuck generating an error while trying to report the error.

Windows has a limit to the amount of memory/processes active so if there are zombies floating around in your system you need to kill them off and find out what is causing them.
