Well it is wise not to use so much memory. But I don't think I'm not running out of memory. I have 2GB of memory and the heighest utilization I've ever seen in this system is around 500-600 MB. One thing I'm confused about is why there are multiple instances of tcpserver?. When the system is functioning properly there is only one instance of tcpserver and when the system loads increases then number of tcpserver process also increases. at such time tcpserver consumes more than 60% of cpu resources.
Have I missed some other patches? with regards, ROhit On Monday 10 November 2003 14:34, Ken wrote: > Is your system running out of memory? Your SOFTLIMIT is 40MEGABYTES! That > may be TOO high.
