OK, I know what these mean: my machine ran out of available swap. Oct 21 10:09:39 blue /kernel: pid 82313 (perl), uid 80, was killed: out of swap space Oct 21 10:09:45 blue /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed Oct 21 10:09:45 blue /kernel: pid 82458 (perl), uid 80, was killed: out of swap space Oct 21 10:09:55 blue /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed Trouble is, I have yet to catch it in the act. I know what was happening when these messages were logged: rebuilding the pages of a weblog (all done in perl). I can't reproduce it, now, for some reason. This is an admittedly small machine: it's a 233 Celeron with 64 Mb real memory and 128 of swap, but it's lightly used (less than 1000 webhits a day, natd/firewall service for my home LAN, and not much else). I just starting graphing the available real and available swap here to see what I can find out about trends. http://paulbeard.no-ip.org/mrtg/blue/blue-mem.html Any suggestions besides more swap? -- Paul Beard / 8040 27th Ave NE / Seattle WA 98115 / paulbeard [at] mac [ dot] com / 206 529 8400 weblog @ <http://paulbeard.no-ip.org/movabletype/>; Newton's Fourth Law: Every action has an equal and opposite satisfaction.
