I am just wondering ( the way you do when you do something out-of-the-ordinary and something else odd happens...)
yesterday I tried setting up a 'screen' session on a remote server for the first time. I am not a screen user but have had it recommended to me by various people. One of the virtual terminals in the screen session was doing a tail -f of a log file, as I recall. This morning the server was deadly slow and unresponsive - not quite dead but bogged down. Am getting the data centre to reboot it as I write. That screen session would not lead to a huge memory footprint ... would it?? -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
