Oh.. thanx everyone for your quick replies.. :) is there some kind of package that would send a mail every time this might happend and then restart the serviecs or should one do a cron job to do it?
Your cron daemon might very well be among the tasks that the kernel kills off, so it isn't that simple. To determine which processes to kill when an OOM occurs, is almost a science, and the kernel guys have been discussing this topic a lot recently. Right now you are not guaranteed that the kernel will kill the "offending" process, because the algorithms the kernel use are not smart enough. Possibly this matter will not be completely solved until the 2.6 kernel arrives. ---J.T.U. /==================================================================\ | Jon Trygve Utne |e-mail: jont@ii.uib.no | | Department of Informatics | Jon.Utne@mi.uib.no | | University of Bergen, Norway | Jon.Utne@student.uib.no | | Tlf(work) +47 55 58 82 95 |"Smith & Wesson: The original| | URL: http://www.ii.uib.no/~jont | point and click interface" | ==================================================================/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
