There must be some sort of exceptional conditions that happen as 98 % of the time the script runs with no troubles. I'll be looking into that some time soon. Cheers for all those that replied. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Johnston Mark Sent: 14 November 2001 03:27 To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: SUMMARY: Funny things happening with Swap Hi all, I got many replies (thanks) and there seem to be 2 prodominant solutions: 1) Many thought that it could be a process that was dumping a large file to tmp and using all the available space. 2) Some thought that it could be an operating system fault with a swap space larger than two gigs. I have been monitoring the system for the last few days using top and lsof. The bad news is, as of yet I haven't found the problem. The system hasn't given me any further troubles since sending that mail. "Murphy's law" !!!
