January 22, 20215 yr It seems odd that my entire unraid server could lock up just because I have an old, stale, unraid tab open somewhere on one of my computers. I had the same issue, it did get fixed when I closed and / or reloaded an old unraid tab I found open in my browser.
January 27, 20215 yr I've been having this problem for months now... I get spammed even in safe mode, dockers and VMs disabled.

For the record, today the Unraid web GUI was draaaaagging...and I discovered these "worker process...exited on signal 6" messages rapidly spamming /var/log/syslog again. So, I went hunting for stale Unraid sessions open in browsers on other computers, and found two. When I closed one, the spamming slowed, and when I closed the other, the spamming stopped.
February 9, 20215 yr Its a while since I posted on this topic. I'm currently at 65 days uptime - which is way more than I'd seen when I last posted. The change has been to always close browser tabs that have the Unraid web ui open. I found the other day that I had left a tab open for a few days, and as a result my logs are at 3% of capacity. Until I left that tab open, this had remained at 1%. From past experience, that percentage climbs very rapidly once it starts moving. I will keep closing browser tabs as a workaround - but I would prefer a fix if anyone can suggest one.
March 15, 20215 yr This is happening to me again.

This seems like a pretty bad bug. Any word on fixing it?
March 15, 20215 yr Quick search - it appears there's possibly a known bug in nchan. I'm not a developer but perhaps can one of you more code proficient people take a look please? https://github.com/slact/nchan/issues/534
March 15, 20215 yr I've submitted a bug report - however, Iv'e gone and closed all open Unraid GUI tabs on all my browsers and it didn't seem to fix the problem... So I think it may be something other than the stale tab...

So I think it may be something other than the stale tab... I take that back. I just went and restarted the entire browser and, for now, the errors appear to have stopped.
April 14, 20215 yr Haven't updated to .2 yet, but I did have this error occur on 6.9.1, yes Edited April 14, 20215 yr by Dovy6

Hope this helps someone. I am having the same issue - message in syslog everey 1-2 seconds from 10:31:28 to 12:30:28 and suddenly stopped. What is a "stale" web GUI tab? why is it defined as stale. I am also getting the following errors also related to nginx every minute in between the "nginx worker process" messages: May 21 12:30:20 Tower nginx: 2021/05/21 12:30:20 [error] 29362#29362: *143060 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.100, server: , request: "GET /plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/state.php HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.unraid.net", referrer: "https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.unraid.net/Dashboard"

Restart any open browser you have on any computer
May 21, 20215 yr The "problem" is that I have no other PC or smartphone currently open with an unRAID webUI tab open.
May 23, 20215 yr I have also started to get this issue, I am on the latest version. I did have a stale tab open on computer so closed it now and rebooted, lets see what happens.

June 2, 20215 yr I'm seeing issues reported in this thread since a few weeks to. - webterminal does not work - web VNC does not work - log 100%, spammed with ngix error I don't have any webterminal tabs open. Would be nice to get some support on this issue...

Here is a log except pulled from above. The part I highlighted in red shows the specific IP address that is repeatedly hitting the server: May 21 12:30:20 Tower nginx: 2021/05/21 12:30:20 [error] 29362#29362: *143060 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.100, server: , request: "GET /plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/state.php HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.unraid.net", referrer: "https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.unraid.net/Dashboard" In that particular log entry, it looks like the issue is that the My Servers plugin was uninstalled but there was still a browser tab open on 192.168.1.100 that was trying to call it. The fix would be to close or reload all tabs on that computer. Note that some alternative browsers have things called "panels" that are pretty the same as a tab. You need to close or reload everything that is pointed at the server. Can't find it? Reboot the computer at that IP address.
June 2, 20215 yr Damn thank you, I know now which computer caused the issue back then. I've never installed the my servers plugin, though?
July 5, 20215 yr I just wanted to report, this is still present in the latest 6.9.2 Jul 5 09:47:41 UnRaid-Mini-NAS nginx: 2021/07/05 09:47:41 [alert] 8435#8435: worker process 18731 exited on signal 6 Jul 5 09:47:43 UnRaid-Mini-NAS nginx: 2021/07/05 09:47:43 [alert] 8435#8435: worker process 18756 exited on signal 6 Jul 5 09:47:45 UnRaid-Mini-NAS nginx: 2021/07/05 09:47:45 [alert] 8435#8435: worker process 18801 exited on signal 6 Jul 5 09:47:47 UnRaid-Mini-NAS nginx: 2021/07/05 09:47:47 [alert] 8435#8435: worker process 18828 exited on signal 6 I was checking on my parity check and noticed my logs filled with this. I only had 2 windows open, main one and a systems log. Ran the following: killall --quiet --older-than 1w process_name This seemed to have solved the issue.

What would 'process_name' be in this case? nginx?
