Once again I got a "we're off the air" call, couldn't VNC into the box, and connected via ssh to find Xorg eating 80% of the system memory and the load displayed by "w" was up over 3.
There are two Rivendell machines I shall call Tweedledum and Tweedledee; they are identical in every way: same hardware, same software, same schedule. Tweedledum is the one that has had the problem both times; Tweedledee just keeps on going like the rabbit in the old Ennergizer commercials. I am going to guess that x11vnc is responsible; I never had the problem when I was running vino-server. Tweedledum gets a lot more VNC connections than Tweedledee, and sometimes the screen will freeze during a VNC session. Could x11vnc be buggy on Debian Squeeze? I've killed x11vnc for now and gone back to vino-server. I also set up a cron job to notify me if Xorg eats more than 5% of memory; maybe I can catch this thing in its early stages.
