As mentioned previously, it doesn't happen all that often … this latest one was after 21 days of uptime (or so) … I just upgraded the kernel on that machine to take into consideration changes to hfs *since* the last upgrade, so it might be another 20-30 days before it happens again *if* that last patch didn't' fix it …

I have several servers that do have fully operational remote consoles though … to save time if/when it happens next, what do I all need to run?

ps auxlH
procstat -kk <pid> (for which process? … all part of that "group", or just one of the apparently hung processes?)
sysctl debug.kdb.break_to_debugger=1 (shell)
<ctl><alt><esc> (from console)

now, is there a way of forcing it to do a dump core so that I can run the various commands from a shell *after* its rebooted?   Not particularly easy to redirect console output to a file (or is it?), so anything that scrolls off the screen is pretty much lost … I'm using a DRAC card in most cases, no serial consoles or anything like that that I can run within a script session … a 'ps' listing is >500 lines long, just to give an idea ...
