Hi there, can anyone point me to a solution for the following problem?
I have several machines running as Internet servers, mainly FTP and HTTP. They're relatively low-end machines (P100 and 486-133 with 48 resp. 64 MB RAM.) Every couple of days I have to restart inetd or other stand-alone services (like syslogd, klogd, snmpd, apache.) I'm pretty sure the reason why the processes fail is that memory usage is too high (it's *definitely* not due to memory problems, like failing RAM modules or overclocked CPUs.) Memory usage is permanently about 99%, swap usage only a few percent. But obviously processes are dying because they can't allocate "real" memory?! Of course a work-around would be to reduce the no. of concurrent FTP users that I allow, but I cannot easily do that. I simply cannot accept that services die as easily as they do. Isn't there a way to prevent this? I need a high availability of my machines, and having to constantly check and possibly restart services is not acceptable. :-( Thanks, Ralf -- Sign the EU petition against SPAM: L I N U X .~. http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^
