Processes in csf.pignore not being ignored

Post by trisager »

I've mostly gotten rid of "excessive resource usage" alerts by adding to csf.pignore. However, there are two processes left that I can't nail down: /usr/sbin/nginx and /usr/sbin/mysqld

I have exe:/usr/sbin/nginx and exe:/usr/sbin/mysqld lines in csf.pignore and csf has been restarted, but I'm still receiving alert emails about process time and suspicious processes.

Can anyone explain why ignoring these doesn't seem to work?

Just to close this one, the reason this wasn't working was that I had restarted csf but not lfd (I'm more used to managing csf/lfd via the cPanel gui).

I did a "csf -r" from the command line, but forgot about "service lfd restart". After the lfd restart everything in csf.pignore is being ignored as expected.
