A site we host has been running CalendarScript for some time.  recently I've logged in and found anywhere from one to 25 copies of calendar.pl running infinitely and eating CPU.  The site is running 3.21.  We are running Debian Sarge (3.1) with its Perl 5.8.4.

Any suggestions for debugging?

I've also found it doing this on at least 3 of our servers...

I'm digging, but can't find why the infinite loops occur - but have found google indexing as far back as 1915 and as far forward as 2036!  I've added google no-index commands to the meta content (default template) on one of the sites, but google appears to be continuing to index... will post more when I have it.

I'd suggest that perhaps a max number of years pre-post current date might be a suggestion for a possible enhancement...

** have found google indexing as far back as 1915 and as far forward as 2036! **

I've found Yahoo! Slurp much more pervasive indexing pages at my site hundreds of times a day!!!


** I've added google no-index commands to the meta content **

You might consider adding an entry to a robots.txt file as well.

BTW. I don't know what would cause infinite loops nor zombie processes.

JFYI

I also had a runaway script on or about 8/15-17.  
My ISP (lunarpages) shut down my script.
I looked at todays log, and Googlebot is still hitting it ALL the time, but it pulls up errors because the script is disabled.

What the heck should I do?

so far ...
the robots.txt file seems to be effective
I disallowed any indexing of cgi-bin, and it seems to have stopped the problem.
Good thing, and I hope it keeps working, because my ISP was getting pissed.

Yep, I did the same for my client and it's helping.  (In this case, I'm the ISP that was getting pissed...!)

It looks like I am having the same problem with the Google indexing engine. Just to be clear - did inhibiting indexing of cgi-bin stop Google, MSN and Yahoo? If so, I'll give it a try.

Yes, it stopped them all.

(That doesn't make this any less of a bug, of course.)

I'm having this problem too...and hoping the robots.txt file will correct it...My ISP emailed me and told me my site is very CPU intensive and it was using 1/4th of the server's CPU time.
