Hi, I have a normally unloaded 5.4-release systems with 256 meg of memory and 2 CPUs. Every 20 mins a job starts that runs 1 process per CPU, so 2 in this case. Each process gets SIZE to 130 meg or so, but, RES never climbs above 32meg or so. While running, top shows 34 meg buffer and 12 meg cache. Oddly enough when I only run one of the two processes the RES size still doesn't climb above 32meg or so. Is there some setting to let RES get bigger? I would help with these jobs. I realize, of course, the more memory would help the problem. I'm just waiting for ebay.ch to have something sensible. cheers bruce -- edoneel@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
