Hi again, I've managed to be looking at a top when our wan provider did his thing again (lucky me......). It seems there are an awfull lot of bsmon processes that took a serious bite out of the system resources. Swap file activity was soring and response at the command line took a dive. I did the echo to the proc file system before this happened. echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory It looked promising but after a while the steady climb in consumed system resources overtook and the system stopped again. I told bigsister to shutdown when swap file usage passed 650 MB Did not work, I managed to give it an init 6 it after 20 minutes , and a reset after 20 more :( How do I tell bigsister not to raise alarms for ping tests (besides the obvious fact of removing the ping tests completely) Regards.
