About a year ago I updated our systems to run a cron job once a day which runs the following script (and updated it a few months ago to kill the calendar factory too) as long as the evolution UI isn't running:
### cron job 0 2 * * * /home/diltonm/bin/stopEvolution.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1 ### evolution kill script #!/bin/sh # exit if evolution client is running #EVO=`ps -ef|grep -i "evolution --component=mail"|grep -v grep|awk {'print $2'}` EVO=`ps -ef|grep -i "evolution --component=mail"|grep -v grep` if [ -n "$EVO" ]; then exit else # kill existing evolution to workaround memory leak evolution --force-shutdown pkill e-calendar-fac fi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/648618 Title: evolution memory leak -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
