Unless this is some runaway process which won't be killed by this restart. Have you checked that the problem is indeed with one of those two? A more immidiate cure is to "pause" (kill -STOP) some problematic processes. If you have some 100 processes working and taking memory, stop them all, and release them in small groups, so they'll be able to not use much more than the availble physical memory. > 3.

The shell process has to be swapped into physical memory each time it needs the CPU. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
