No, if you install STAF using InstallAnywhere (which is a Java installer),
there will be extra overhead for running the JVM no matter if you perform
an interactive or silent install.
For Unix, we also provide a non-InstallAnywhere installer that you should
find uses less resources as it is not a Java installer (but it also has
fewer install features). To install it, download the tar.gz installer
(which is much smaller than the .bin installers since it does not contain
the overhead of InstallAnywhere). Then untar it and run STAFInst to
install STAF. Note that STAFInst will require that you first uninstall
STAF (if it is already installed) before running it. Also, STAFInst does
not update environment variables needed for STAF to run. You'll have to
run STAFEnv.bat to set the environment variables needed for STAF. See the
STAF Installation Guide for more information at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFInstall.pdf.

Subject: [staf-users] how to avoid much cpu usage when installing
STAF
Hi:
When I run STAF, the resources(cpu and memory) usage is just
like the introduction in STAF FAQ, very low.
But I found when installing STAF, it will need much cpu and
memory, even causing other scripts on the host execution failed.
Firstly, I doubt it's related to GUI version InstallAnywhere, but when I
use silent mode install, the cpu and memory usage is still very high.
When I execute "./STAF342-setup-linux-NoJVM.bin -i silent
-DACCEPT_LICENSE=1 -DUSE_PYTHON_VERSION=2.6" on RHEL5.3. I have ensure
that first process is java com.zerog.lax.LAX ...., which is used by STAF
installation. Do you have a good way to avoid overhead of the resources
use when installing STAF? Thanks
