Wildfire taking over my server

Openfire Openfire Support
1

I have been running wildfire IM for about 3 weeks now, and had no problems. As of the past couple days it has been spawning as many as 50 or more child processes and consuming all my servers memory. There are only 15 or so accounts n the server, so I can’'t see how all these processes are needed.

Is there any way to fix this? If not I guess I will have to remove it from the server, there are other deamons that need memory to run.

Hi,

this is quite normal, did you upgrade your kernel to support another threading method? Java is now using native threads, so you see every java thread as an linux thread. Try a kill -3 14141 to get a thread dump (may be written to nohup.out) and you’‘ll see all the threads and the thread-id’'s will match the linux PIDs.

You should not add the memory values which are displayed, it is shared memory.
