Considering that the JVM tries to grab ~40 MB of memory as soon as it initializes, I'm not surprised. If you run your Linux box without a windowing system (no KDE or Gnome), you might be able to limp along with 64 MB. I'd recommend doubling that amount though.
If you're running a windowing system, you might be able to survive on 128 but it will be painful every time the JVM comes up--I'd recommend 256+. b.t.w., no process ever dies 'silently' in Linux. First, the JVM will issue out-of-memory errors if it runs out of space in the heap and can get no more memory from the OS. Second, you can get a thread dump in Linux from any console, I believe the command is "Ctrl - \" (control and backslash keys at same time) -- this should tell you if an out-of-memory error terminated the application. Finally, you can use the Linux command 'top' to see how much memory an app. is grabbing while its running. Their are numerous other text-based and GUI tools for doing the same in Linux, search the web. Note that any of these tools will also consume memory, the ol' Heisenberg principle manifesting itself. :) hope this helps, Joe Barefoot > -----Original Message----- > From: Billy Ng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 4:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Run out of Memeory > > > Hi folks, > > I have a Linux box that has only 64MB for the beta testing of > my Struts app. > The app died silently after a while.
