Boy am I silly today ... Mandrake 8.1 ... brain-fart!  I don't know much
about Mandrake (I prefer slackware) but I'd definately look into mem/cpu
limits generally found in /etc/limits

Do you have any cpu time restrictions setup on the box?  On yea ol DEC's at
ISU I remember setting the maximum amount of memory/CPU allowed per process
before it got zapped by the system.  What OS are you running?

Subject: [Cialug] very large file help


I'm trying to process a com zone file to see which of our domains is going
to expire.  The file is ~3G.  A cow-orker wrote a perl script to do whois
and everything and to generate a list of expiring domains.  So after 49.5M
lines processed, the process gets killed.  I tried to time the process, and
I got "process exited with signal 9" after the same 49.5M lines, and at
1:01:xx total process time.  Is this a problem with a kernel scheduler, or
the file is mounted on a samba share - is it a samba problem - samba doesn't
report the size of the file correctly.  Or is it another problem?  The
script worked fine on the cow-orkers box (slack 8).  I'm running mandrake
8.1, samba 2.2.2, perl 5.6.1.  I have an email out to him, but wanted your
help also.

thanks,
