I host a number of sites with Coppermine galleries and every now and again, one of them triggers the server to send an e-mail about the site running a permanent server process which is not permitted.
Does Coppermine do anything (perhaps thumbnail resizing or watermarking) that could be interpreted by the server as a permanent process or could this be some kind of attack?
Any ideas would be much appreciated as so far we're having to switch to alternative gallery scripts to get over the problem.
Cheers,

Only process spawned by Coppermine is imagemagick's convert during image resizing (if you use it). Should not last more than a few seconds though.
We're using that, yes. So is that an ImageMagick problem rather than Coppermine do you think?
Thanks,

Find out what the permanent process is. If it's convert then it might be a imagemagick problem. If it's something else then it might be malicious.
It's the convert. I'll see what ImageMagick has to say about it. Thanks for your help.
