[Dxspider-support] Help & Questions

[Howard Leadmon]

  If I am reading the below right, you show your running using about 45 
meg of memory for the cluster process, with about 42 meg of it resident, 
and others may disagree but that doesn't seem bad at all. Dirk's was at 
170m/91m for a large node, and I just took a peek at mine and though I 
am running under FBSD, I show I am running 126m/89m again reasonable.

As a comparison here is my top output, but I think how your node is 
running looks fine..

CPU:  0.8% user,  0.0% nice,  0.5% system,  0.0% interrupt, 98.7% idle
Mem: 615M Active, 594M Inact, 2549M Wired, 4048K Cache, 166M Free
ARC: 1536M Total, 90M MFU, 1206M MRU, 144K Anon, 57M Header, 183M Other
Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free

   PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE   C   TIME WCPU COMMAND
   979 sysop         1  23    0   126M 89004K select  4 119.1H 5.57% perl


Perl is the cluster process:

979 ??  S      7143:21.58 /usr/bin/perl -w ./perl/cluster.pl

A big one as Dirk mentioned, don't run it as root, if you do and anyone 
ever gets in, your box is 0wned..
