Hi,
Can someone tell me what the following means: (from syslog)
Feb 16 16:53:40 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd Feb 16 16:53:50 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process pop3d Feb 16 16:54:01 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd Feb 16 16:54:06 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process crond Feb 16 16:54:12 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd Feb 16 16:54:22 hyperion last message repeated 2 times Feb 16 16:54:23 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process pop3d Feb 16 16:54:38 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd Feb 16 16:54:38 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd Feb 16 16:54:42 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process xinetd Feb 16 16:54:48 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd Feb 16 16:54:54 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd Feb 16 16:55:07 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process nmbd Feb 16 16:55:07 hyperion kernel: VM: killing process httpd
Does VM stand for Virtual Memory? Am I out of RAM/swap?
The machine is running Red Hat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.14), and has 128MB (ECC PC-100) RAM, and a 128MB swap partition. Normally I have anywhere from 3 to 20MB RAM free, and about 2MB of swap used (126MB free).
This has happened three times now. I reset the box and all seems to go fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers
Simon Garner
