Dont kill your java.

If you have the simple control panel on your gd VPS, then dont kill the java process, as I mistakenly did after looking at it and thinking, hmmm thats taking rather a lot of memory for something I am not using.

If you kill the java process, you cant get back into your control panel, and have to request a power cycle, which is quick and easy, but not something people should do unless absolutely required, as if it really is a power cycle that will bring down all accounts on that VPS for a short while until it reboots. At least thats my assumption…

Mind you, I suppose I could have shutdown the server from the command line, but Im reluctant to try that, Im not sure if it restarts automatically, or not (anyone know?)

Hi,
What about all the Cyrus IMAP and POP3 processes (about 5 of each) and the spamd processes (also about 5)? The memory (7.9 GB) on our box is almost all in use. Very odd for a small, relatively low traffic web site.
Thanks,
Larry
