A ls -l in /etc/init.d showed the error of my ways. I did not chown 755
the dxspider.conf file. That I can fix.

#! /bin/sh

case $1 in
        start|restart|force-reload)
        /spider/perl/cluster.pl
        ;;
        stop)
        ;;
        status)# cluster startup/respawn

From init::


start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

exec /bin/su - sysop -c "usr/bin/ perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl"
/dev/tty6

Thanks for the quick response and the advice. I just do not understand
where all the memory is going.
