<div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div>Jerry I have seen on very busy systems the number of MS child
processes continue to increase well beyond the Max Children and when
that happens the numbers in /proc/meminfo all start to change. At this
time I am watching them but not really understanding what is happening. I
see Committed_AS really starts to increase when the number of children increase.<br><br></div>As to a
machine that is actually not doing anything. I have two of them
associated to back burner projects. Postfix and MailScanner are running
and the only email that is processed is a few root cron jobs per day. On
them the /proc/meminfo numbers do not noticeably change. I know
leakage, if it does exist, may come from routines not used by these two
systems. Paul makes a good point. I run with Restart Every = 7200 on all
gateways. However, when big spikes hit I find manually restarting
helps.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Robert Lopez<br>Unix Systems Administrator<br>Central New Mexico Community College (CNM)<br>525 Buena Vista SE<br>Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106
