Re: [hlds_linux] SRCDS Memory Leak
MRTG doesn't account for cache memory used, so if you are, say grep'ing logs, or looking at other stuff, things will get shoved into cache... Use "free mem" to see how much you have in cache, and subtract that out of used... I also think some of the stats plugins tend to bloat memory...

[hlds_linux] SRCDS Memory Leak
I'm running CS:S. I haven't tested if a server left empty for the entire time generates this issue, but I have seen the additional memory consumption (the quick step up doubling and tripling) happen when no one was on the server. To be fair, I haven't watched the memory consumption without srcds running. I think before I tell you that you definitely have a problem I'm going to try that. I just rebooted my box and I shutdown the auto launch of the game server. The main reason I posted was to see if other people are seeing the same thing. Is there anyone else on the list running Fedora Core 3 and using a tool to monitor their memory? The trend in mrtg tends to indicate a memory leak...help me out if you've seen it too. I see this: exit L 05/28/2005 - 00:53:59: server_message: "quit" L 05/28/2005 - 00:53:59: server_message: "restart" Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 48 Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 642 Sat May 28 00:53:59 EDT 2005: Server restart in 10 seconds When I exit the game server, but I always figured everyone saw it, so this isn't what I'm using to determine I actually have a problem.

Re: [hlds_linux] SRCDS Memory Leak
the linux build of srcds will generate this error right out of the box. to "see" the error message from the console, start your srcds_run through a screen process (be sure to use -autoupdate in your start vars), add some bots (or players, if you have them) to generate cpu/mem usage, then from the server console, QUIT. The -autoupdate var will allow the process to kill itself, and restart in X seconds without killing your screen session, or the console itself, and it will also generate any shutdown/rstart errors. ex : screen -dmS CSS nice -n -15 ./srcds_run -autoupdate -game cstrike +ipx.x.x.x +port X +exec server.cfg +whatever else then screen -r CSS Alfred Reynolds wrote: What mod?

Sorry, but the CS servers or UT2k4 servers we run never experienced the problem that they ate 300 Megabyte (not a typo) of memory after 1 week running. A little memleak is always possible, but with the SRCDS is seems like free() isn't working in their code or something :p Valve, please fix :) If you need additional info, let me know. -- Mike Noordermeer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] SRCDS memory leak and rcon bug
Hi 1- We currently run a few douzains of source servers, and we do have the memory leak bug. Server eats slowly quite a lot memory, I even saw a serveur up for 3 weeks eating 800Mb DDR.. 2- We all have the rcon bug, and I think valve is aware of this because I saw this on this ML before :) (bump ! ) Regards, Julian - Original Message - From: "Hans Vos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 12:24 PM Subject: [hlds_linux] SRCDS memory leak and rcon bug VALVE and other SRCDS administrators, 1) Memory leak Our public Counter-Strike: Source dedicated servers are eating away the server's memory at a slow rate.
