Well I'll be.... I just increased those settings, therefore: max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited max user processes (-u) 256
Wouldn't you know it I can now start Tomcat as the user 'jakarta'! So perhaps as you said root ignores those values. A million thanks cannot even cover the gratitude that I feel right now!! So now my question is... I've had those set as 20 & 5000 for some time now... Why did this OutOfMemoryError just coincidentally occur with the brownout? Lastly, how can I make sure my application itself is not causing the problem. I downloaded and installed Java Memory Profiler and tried to run it on my programs, but it hangs - so I have to try another solution. Well thanks again for your help on this!

(As otherwise tc wouln't run as other user) E.G.: max user processes (-u) 20 max memory size (kbytes, -m) 5000 These are quite low. We have 256 and unlimited. 20 processes per user and especially 5MB memory is not enough to run tomcat. (I'm not shure if these values are ignored for root) > -----Original Message----- > From: Denise Mangano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 6:29 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Cannot run Tomcat as new user > > When you are suggesting manual settings, do you mean in the OS or in > Tomcat itself?
