It will also kill any process sharing the same mm_struct as the selected process, for obvious reasons. Any particular process leader may be immunized against the oom killer if the value of it's /proc/<pid>/oomadj is set to the constant OOM_DISABLE. Reference http://linux-mm.org/OOM_Killer, it shows you both the process and sections of code. Without seeing the output of top or vmstat, my guess is that you have an application that is sucking up ALL resources on your system. The kernel is essentially protecting itself by killing that process, and issuing the error messages. This is backed up by messages in your output: > Jul 27 23:33:00 e49l021v kernel: Normal: empty > Jul 27 23:33:00 e49l021v kernel: HighMem: empty > > Jul 27 23:33:00 e49l021v kernel: Swap cache: add 184153, delete 184157 > ,find 56852/73080, race 0+5 > > Jul 27 23:33:00 e49l021v kernel: Free swap: 0kB > > fdbk=9 msgid=APSM011E stext=License file will expire in 9 day(s), > > 08-06-2008 HALT . > Also, looks like you guys might want to look into licensing whatever this is ;) -- Shawn D.
