Hello all,

I have a Lotus Domino 5.0.4 server running on an AIX 4.3.3 box. Ever since
we upgraded the Notes applications, the machine now regularly overloads with
the swap file being used at 40%. I have run a "ps vg" and have seen the
offending processes but would like to know if there is anything better than
just using "ps", "sar" or "top"

Thanks

Hello,
I dont know if is better or is worse but sometimes I use  topas  or vmstat and
there are quite properly for me.

Try Jussi Maki's monitor utility, available from:

http://www.bullfreeware.com/

Being in the middle of chasing possible memory leaks myself,

#!/bin/ksh

while true;
        do
        date >> psstuff
        ps auxww >> psstuff
        sleep 300
        done

then lets me grep for any of the myriad domino processes (server and router seem to suck up memory)
and get serious about some longer term monitoring.

Right now I am seeing big differences in memory used every 24 hours, for the first 3 days of
running two servers side by side.

Even at that, the ps seems only to be telling me part of the story - there seems not only memory
going into a fat layer on the notes processes, but there seems to be some getting 'lost' - but I haven't
crunched enough numbers yet...

Cheers
