in the past we've seen a number of memory leaks, mostly from perl modules. also, we've stumbled on a couple bugs in perl, particularly a bug in the regex lib, which would cause mon to crash under some circumstances. fwiw, this isn't a problem on perl 5.005_03 w/mon 0.99.1. the mon process on one of our servers over here has been running since april 1st of this year and the RSS is under 8mb. i've deliberately not used the -w switch in the past because it complained about superfluous problems. _______________________________________________ mon mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
