Restarting all fastcgi processes
If you’re using fastcgi, either here at DreamHost or elsewhere, you may need to restart the processes from time to time.
You may have an app in Production mode and need to flush the fastcgi processes so a change will show up, or if you have something in development mode and have a bunch of dead and dying processes.
Generally if I see more than a handful of processes or if I see any ‘zombie’ processes, I’ll restart the fastcgis to reset things.
killall -9 dispatch.fcgi
This will get the whole bunch of them at once.
