What does pstat -s or vmstat or top show when netscape claims to be out of swap space? -Mark P.S. For anybody else out there who wants to torture test an X workstation like I did, my only advice is to get really used to how far you need to move your mouse relative to screen position. Under huge swapping/disk activity successfully using a mouse is the largest challenge. I recomend learning how to use all your WM's hot keys for popping between apps! 8-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Win95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. -UGU
