No this couldn't be, because a collegue of mine is the Administrator of this server... We looked than together at /var/log/messages and we realized that it was the VM itself.
here a small extract of the /var/log/messages: ---------- Nov 11 23:23:38 windu kernel: VM: killing process htdig Nov 12 18:03:59 windu kernel: VM: killing process htdig Nov 12 18:18:39 windu kernel: VM: killing process htdig Nov 12 18:22:52 windu kernel: VM: killing process htdig Nov 14 05:33:09 windu kernel: VM: killing process htdig ---------- It seems like htdig uses too much memory and instead of bringing the whole machine down to the knees VM kills it....

"Killed" usually means terminated with SIGTERM, or possibly even SIGKILL. This doesn't usually happen on its own, but by explicit user (or administrator) action to kill the process. Maybe the htdig process was dragging the system down, so someone had to kill it. > htdig_version: 3.1.0b4 I assume you actually mean 3.2.0b4. If you're not running a recent snapshot of 3.2.0b4, I suggest you obtain the latest one. -- Gilles R.
