[cobalt-users] Memory utilization on Raq4i?

["Patrick Hunter" <hunterp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have a couple of Raq 4i servers with 512 meg ram and so far only 4 sites on them. We  have a MySQL database running and we've seen something eating 
up memory on them both. The first Raq went bad on us, so we are sending it back to Cobalt for replacement. When we moved the sites to the other Raq, we 
saw that something was sucking it dry in terms of memory and then the Raq would freeze solid. We thought that it was a certain cgi script from one of our client 
sites that was the problem, so we disabled it and restarted the Raq. It has now been up for a couple of days and we are again seeing memory usage starting to 
climb. When the Raq was restarted, it started at using 64 meg of ram, now after 2-3 days, it is using 114 meg ram. We are using the top utility to track memory 
and processes. I have also compared the top results with the memory usage tracking from the Raq admin GUI and the two seem to disagree by a wide margin. 
Which one should I rely on? Has anybody else seen this behavior before? We are fully patched.  I just restarted the server a few minutes ago and then 
shutdown the MySQL system to see if we have a bad install or possibly a bad database. I'm admitting to ignorance in my last statement; could a messed up 
database cause this problem? Thanks for any tips
