Steve,
I have a couple of machines that have been running for around 1700 hours straight
(approx 71 days).
However, I have not changed HZ. What is the normal setting for this value? Can you
explain why
your user process exited when the jiffies ran out. My applications rely on having the
user process
available to the user at any given moment. Is this something I need to worry about?
What do you
recommend to be done for long running applications?
