let's face it. there are some questions that are best left unasked. buy lots of memory, keep a swap partition and keep your fingers crossed that you never need an answer to that question --- what do i do when i run out of memory! either that, or do like knuth. we keep a fixed tablesize for everything. we size these variables to the memory size of the machine, then we will never run out of memory. if you try to start one too many processes, it will helpfully give an error message before you start. ;-) - erik On Sun Sep 17 16:11:27 CDT 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > i've never had problems with swap. my setup at the labs was diskless > "terminal" with lotsa ram and swap on /n/other. it never failed, tho swap > was really only there to cope with extraordinary circumstances. > > i have a similar setup in sydney tho "other" is local. > > killing a random process is not a solution. it's an egregious hack. > > brucee >
