I am using Linux 2.4.13 on a HP Server with 8 x PIII XEON 700 MHZ with 8GB RAM I am facing problems with memory. The system seems to just chew up memory over a period of time and eventually I lose control of the box...and have to force a power recycle. This happens almost everyday. I am running Oracle 8i and weblogic 5.1. There are specific cronjobs that run every hour and when they are running the system starts using up all the physical RAM and doesnt free up even after the jobs complete. I have 2 Machines with similar configs and both behave the same. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Is there a way I can force my machine to free up memory at given intervals so that I can run a stable system and dont have to reboot often. cheers, Anish Srivastava - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
