Re: RedHat Server hangs... how to troubleshoot.

Hi Nick,

Datacenter is a place where all the servers are kept at one place.. mounted
on racks..
The developers here run about 3 to 4 instances of weblogic on that server.
We have installed oracle 10g r1 client.

So far it was brought to my notice only when the server hung up.  I have
asked the developers to let me know when they use the server in future ...
so that I can monitor when they use.
I could only get a few warning messages from the logs... nothing much...
