Comment 10 Justin Sherrill 2017-08-02 20:42:35 UTC 
tested on Sat 6.3.0 snap 9, i believe that some change did not make the build.  


the pids of my workers don't seem to change after syncing:

# ps aux | grep worker | grep python | awk '{print $2}' | sort
16600
16655
16658
16793
16794
16797

and it does not seem to be set (note its commented out):

in /etc/default/pulp_workers

# PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD=2
Comment 11 Tanya Tereshchenko 2017-08-02 21:32:08 UTC 
FYI, there is a bug - BZ#1472584 PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD is disabled in 6.3.0.
Comment 16 Justin Sherrill 2017-09-06 14:02:48 UTC 
verified ON 6.3 SNAP 14.0

PID changes between syncs:

[root@jsherrill-test ~]# ps aux | grep worker | grep python | awk '{print $2}' | sort
2156
30940
30943
31027
31043
31139
[root@jsherrill-test ~]# ps aux | grep worker | grep python | awk '{print $2}' | sort
2156
30940
30943
31027
31043
31139


and PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD is set to 2
