I just about hit it again today, swap was up to 99% used ... I was able to get a ps listing in, and there were a whack of find processes running ... Now, I think I know which VPS they were running in, so that isn't a problem ... and I suspect that the find was just part of a longer pipe ... I'm just curious if those pipes would happen to use up any of those sockets that are 'evaporating', or is this totally unrelated to sockets? Thanks ... - ---- Marc G.
