Thank you for your reply, efika!
My initital thought was that there was an unhandled exception in the script. I removed the .py script and was seeing the same error.
I'm in the process of testing each stanza by itself to see if the culprit is one of our scripts.
I observed this issue occurring in SUF 7.x and SUF 8.x. I have had the same scripts running for SUF 6.x (32-bit) and did not encounter any such error. The SUF 6.x machines have been running for months now using the same scripts.
If my understanding is right - ExecProcessor runs the script stanzas, and it doesn't cause a Splunk crash if an error occurs while executing the script. I wonder what ProcessRunner is and what it's trying to do?
