Pete, I found this morning an instance where suddenly the number of processes on my system shot from around 50 to as many as 300, and after that peak, it settled down and rode the 150 level. All of the hung processes are Sniffer being called by Declude. I also had about 10 errors waiting to be cleared from another application, but probably because of the way that Sniffer works (as a service or something related), the Sniffer processes are just hung without a prompt. I saw this last week also. I have Declude set for 200 processes, so it probably reached 300 when the first 100 hung, and then it stayed with those 100 hung. Is there anything that can be done in Sniffer to kill off these hung processes in an automated and proactive manner? I recently upgraded to the latest version and I was probably a version or two behind, and I don't recall this happening before. Thanks, Matt |
