php-fpm: hundreds of seconds in the log

favorite
I have nginx+php-fpm web server
So I've noticed in php5-fpm.log many strange lines:

[03-Sep-2013 09:26:14] NOTICE: [pool www] child 24027 exited with code 0 after 321.722533 seconds from start
Can anyone tell me, what are these seconds like after 321.722533 seconds from start and what does it mean?

UPD

My config is:

pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 50
pm.start_servers = 20
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 35
pm.max_requests = 100

"Seconds" is a unit of time; 321 of them is a little over five minutes.

The reason your processes are exiting and respawning is that you have set the pm.max_children option in your php-fpm pool configuration file.

For example, taken from the default configuration:

; The number of requests each child process should execute before respawning.
; This can be useful to work around memory leaks in 3rd party libraries. For
; endless request processing specify '0'. Equivalent to PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS.
; Default Value: 0
pm.max_requests = 500
We can see in your configuration that it is set to 100, thus php-fpm recycles the process after it has processed 100 requests.

So, it means only that concrete thread lived 321 seconds and will be respawned. I can not pay attention on it? –  Lari13 Sep 3 '13 at 7:00
     
You can ignore these messages; they are harmless and purely informational. –  Michael Hampton♦ Sep 3 '13 at 8:12
