[mohaa] Spearhead stability and system utilization question

[Anthony Quon]

Hmm thanks for the info. The crontab restart may be a good idea, even for AA 
servers. This is what my servers look like on one machine via top:

SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
75664  73M  2704 R    25.7  3.6 115:51 mohaa_lnxded
80088  78M  2712 S    22.8  3.8 289:58 mohaa_lnxded
148M 148M  2732 R    21.4  7.3  1541m mohaa_lnxded
61532  59M  2708 R     6.7  2.9  17:14 mohaa_lnxded
126M 126M  2712 S     5.1  6.2 279:16 mohaa_lnxded
77160  75M  2724 R     1.3  3.7  19:42 mohaa_lnxded
100M 100M  2732 S     0.9  4.9 382:17 mohaa_lnxded
75956  74M  2700 S     0.7  3.6  19:15 mohaa_lnxded
74584  72M  2716 S     0.1  3.6  69:22 mohaa_lnxded
62860  61M  2656 S     0.1  3.0   0:25 mohaa_lnxded


As you can see some of the servers push above 100M depending on the server 
size but it does take some time to get up that high. As you can see...some 
of the servers have been running for quite some time with the highest being 
380hours. Definitely a stable binary. Possibly a reboot may help out a bit. 
However, the server can handle this pretty well. Outside of this I have all 
of them set at PRI 15 and NICE level 0..not sure if that's good or bad.
