It also looks like a new WebCat process is being created exactly every 7 days, minus the very last entry. Do you guys have any uptime app, or cron, that is starting a new process? WebDNA 6.2 is supposed to know if the app is already running, but there are custom apps, and certain methods that can mess that communication up. How are you guys restarting WebCat?
