I have a server with 50GB RAM. It usually sits around 13-14gb used on
any given day.
Recently the server has become unresponsive and I've had to keep my eye
on it to see what's going on.
Before the server falls over, htop shows that the topmost processes
using memory are SOGO worker processes. There's 5-6 of them all showing
7.3% and have been running for more than 12 hours. Over time I'll see
another, and another, until memory is exhausted and the server is
unresponsive.
Killing these processes brings it back to the normal 13-14gb used.
I'd like to know if there is any way to see why these particular
processes are sticking and which users may be having the problem. Any
way of finding this out?
Also, with the SvMemLimit set to 500MB, why would these processes not be
auto-killed? (I can see in the log that the majority of these processes
are being restarted when they hit 500MB, but these particular ones don't)
