Nope, I don’t have any special pluggable transports configured in my torrc, which is odd. What other processes would for be starting kicking off? All I have set in torrc is: RunAsDaemon, CookieAuthentication, SocksPort / SocksPolicy, PortForwarding and ExitPolicy (reject *:*), and DisableDebuggingAttachment.
I do have tor compiled by gentoo’s portage package manager, with the for-hardening, bufferedevents, threads, and nat-pmp flags set.

Hi, I started up a Tor relay several days ago, and the usage seems to be ramping up nicely. However, I am seeing some unexpected messages like this, in ARM and in the tor log files: 17:21:56 [NOTICE] Failed to terminate process with PID ?29778'
Did you add any pluggable transports lines to your torrc?
That line sounds like you tried to launch a pluggable transport process (e.g. obfsproxy, flashproxy, etc) but it didn't launch correctly. Perhaps you have some other hints earlier in the logs, like when it boots?
They seem to be showing up, reliably, every 5 minutes or so. Each has a different PID. What?s strange is that these PIDs don?t exist by the time I see the message, i.e. I guess whatever process had that PID is now dead.
I guess that too.
