RE: [cobalt-users] Mem Leak???

["Travis M. Best" <sysadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason I started to research in to this is because the sever started
sending me e-mails with out of memory error IE the message attached
bellow

errors occured while rotating /var/log/httpd/access

Out of memory!
Callback called exit at /usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 7.
END failed--cleanup aborted at /usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 48.
Callback called exit at /usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 48. END
failed--cleanup aborted at /usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 31. Callback
called exit at /usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 31. END failed--cleanup
aborted at /usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 58. Callback called exit at
/usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 58. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/local/sbin/split_logs line 7. error running prerotate script -- 
				leaving old log in place

Thanks
Travis Best

Why are you rebooting?
Is there a problem other than your interpretation of memory use?
Are you sure it didn't just move some free memory to buffers or cache?
Which makes it look like there is less free memory.

the 'free' output
