Sounds like a resource leak of some kind. If you're actually running out of memory and not something else, then I'd say it's a memory leak. The distro/kernel isn't really any indication of what you're running though, as the memory leaks tend to be in user-space applications. The OOM killer normally kills a random user-space process in this case though... is that what you're meaning is happening? I'd say top or ps (ps -axv, for example) would be more useful for tracking down which process is using up the memory. Ideally you'd run this before it dies. ~Ryan -- http://rmgraham.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
