Sorry to keep posting this to the list (though I've waited a few months
since the last time).
For the last six months, I've been getting those enigmatic "Problem with
Mem" e-mails. They're prompted by a nightly job, but the real cause is that
my server always seems to be running 200 of its 256 megs of memory, give or
take a meg. I've searched the archives and the knowledge base. I've
checked to see that I installed all the updates. I've posted the question
before, and the advice I've gotten is to check for runaway scripts or a
large number of httpd processes.
My question, at this point, is, what constitutes "a large number of httpd
processes?" When I run top I typically see this:
10:04am up 49 days, 20:21, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.24, 0.15
62 processes: 61 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 3.0% user, 6.2% system, 0.0% nice, 91.7% idle
Mem: 257308K av, 202556K used, 54752K free, 95876K shrd, 32900K buff
Swap: 130748K av, 652K used, 130096K free 142836K cached

Can anyone see anything odd about this?
Also, how does one check for a runaway cgi?
Thanks for all those who tried to help me before and to anyone willing to
give it a shot now.
