Indeed junior is in need of a reboot. Any command gets 'resource not
available', so could not check memory, etc. This is strange, since
this box gets extremely little use, and is pretty lightly loaded.
Restarting X, helped for just a second or two, then back to no
resources. I'd like to know what was causing the problem, but couldn't
get anywhere. The first place I was getting the message was
cron.hourly error via mail. I didn't notice but this mail was coming
from root@junior (forwarded to me on feenix).
(I don't know Starcraft. TV show?)

Thanks for the help!
