we have a server running a script every night, and every night our memory usage jumps after it's run, eventually forcing the machine to crash when there's no swap space left. the script calls tar,gzip, postgres db_dumb and vacuumdb, then backs up the files to a tape. The memoy leaks are also occuring rarely even without the script being called, which is the cause of the confusion. I think it may be postgres leaking memory, but i don't know where or how to confirm this. does anybody have experience of this? the main memory intensive process on the box is python(it's running zope). postgres 7.4.5 zope 2.7.5 python 2.3.4 kernel 2.4.20 custom build. i'd really appreciate any thoughts! -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
