RE: I dropped from 3.5GB of RAM to 2.5GB and 4GL quit working

Anthony Are you running an IDS Engine on thi sbox as well? If so have you changed the onconfig file to take account of the reduced memory?

Keith, Thanks for the thoughts. Yes, there is an IDS engine on the box as well -- and I went through and changed those around. However, this is a relatively "critical" system, so I shut it down and replaced the RAM. It's back at 3.5GB. I restored the onconfig files, etc... and we're still getting the SegV fault. -- Anthony Simmons, Keith wrote: > Anthony > > Are you running an IDS Engine on thi sbox as well?

Perhaps. We've got a RAID-1 setup, and I won't discount the theory. However, our web server, sendmail, oninit, java, tomcat, postgreSQL, and jabberd (all of which run on this same box) -- ran without any problems today. The only issue we've had (that I've seen) is the seg fault on the 4GL programs. -- Anthony Obnoxio The Clown wrote: > Anthony said: > > Keith, > > > > Thanks for the thoughts.

Perhaps that's because they kick the parts that other programs don't reach. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "... no bill is required as no value was provided." -- Christine Normile
