I’ve installed from sources.   I’ve had this happen to me prior to the sqlbox installation… I upgraded to 1 Gb memory and it was quite for sometime…. But now it wants MORE?   Do you think it might be wise to maybe install the smsbox on some other server?? Or the the sqlbox maybe? Can this even be done?   Ideas welcome,     Cheers,     Alejandro   -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Alejandro Guerrieri Enviado el: Martes, 26 de Julio de 2005 11:31 a.m. Para: users@kannel.org Asunto: Re: Out of Memory   I don't think it's bearerbox's fault. It would involve major memory leaks and I don't think that's the case.   It looks like you are not short of memory (360Mb out of 1 Gb is more than enough). Maybe you don't have swap space enabled? Please run "top" again and look for the a line like this:   Swap: 1052248k av,    3512k used, 1048736k free                  304424k cached   If it's not there or it shows 0k size, it's not activated or at least not working as expected. In that case, when you approach your memory limit, you'll start to experience problems.   If swap is ok, then the problem should be elsewere, start with "ps auxw | more" and try to look who's eating all thos megabytes of RAM.   Hope it helps,     On 7/26/05, Alejandro J.

Should I have something in my crontab to reset this services on a daily basis?? Has anyone ran into this kind of problem before??     Thank you!!     Alejandro -- Alejandro Guerrieri Magicom http://www.magicom-bcn.net/
