[SunHELP] no swap space issue

[Andrew_Rotramel at cch-lis.com]

Instead of rebooting, if you can get a shell on the system you can usually cd to
/tmp and delete some stuff. That should free up enough swap to let the system
get back to normal. I have only five servers in my network, so on my desktop
Sun, I keep at least one root shell open from each just in case.

Subject:  [SunHELP] no swap space issue


Greetings Sun Gurus:

My Solairs7 server encountered serveral "no swap space" problem recently.
Below is the messages:
------------
Jan  9 04:25:33 HOSTNAME unix: WARNING: Sorry, no swap space to grow stack for
pid 3582 (vobrpc_server)
Jan  9 04:25:33 HOSTNAME last message repeated 17 times
--------

The problem can't be easily repeated. So I want to ask you who have good
method to trace the process which eat the swap space more quickly. As you
know, when the problem occurs, you can't do anything but reboot.

Any ideas will be appreciated !

John
