I have been running webmin for a myriad of different implemementations, but recently I noticed that 'perl miniserv.pl' is chewing up memory. Now, I have written a custom module that polls the webmin for information every 10 seconds, and ever since my traffic increased, webmin would literally eat up all aviable memory over a period of a couple of hours. I am running RH7.2 with webmin 1.000 on a p!!!-450/256... I can run out of mem in about 8 hours providing the server is being polled every 10 seconds. Also, if I stop polling, the memory never gets released. Does anyone else experience the same problems? I check and gauge the mem usage by running cat /proc/`cat /var/webmin/miniserv.pid`/status | grep VmSize Webmin starts at about 4.5mb to only blow up to about 67mb in a couple of hours. I have been tracing it to PERL having issues releasing memory under kernel 2.4, but I am not 100% convinced that it is not miniserv that is the culprid here. Regards, Tom |

I'd like to try and replicate this one myself in order to fix it .. Are you running webmin in SSL mode? What program are you using to poll the remote webmin server? And which version of perl are you using? - Jamie |

I don't think so .. this is more of a slow leak. On the subject of the miniserv.pl runaway process problem, thanks to some valuable debug information provided by an afflicated user, I think I've fixed it. Development release 1.004 available at http://www.webmin.com/devel.html should no longer have the problem. - Jamie Marc Antonio wrote: > Doesnt this look quite similiar to the > "miniserv.pl runaway issue again" problem > > Regards > Mark > --- Jamie Cameron <jca...@we...> wrote: > > Thomas Sienkiewicz wrote: > >>>I have been running webmin for a myriad of >>> >>different implemementations, but >> >>>recently I noticed that 'perl miniserv.pl' is >>> >>chewing up memory. >> >>>Now, I have written a custom module that polls the >>> >>webmin for information >> >>>every 10 seconds, and ever since my traffic >>> >>increased, webmin would literally >> >>>eat up all aviable memory over a period of a >>> >>couple of hours. >> >>>I am running RH7.2 with webmin 1.000 on a >>> >>p!!!-450/256...

Sadly, no .. the webmin upgrade can only install new modules, not patch the webmin core. - Jamie alfred wippermann wrote: > hi jamie, > is your bug-fix available via webmin-updrade-function? > > tia > > alfred > > Jamie Cameron schrieb: > > >>I don't think so .. this is more of a slow leak. >> >>On the subject of the miniserv.pl runaway process problem, >>thanks to some valuable debug information provided by an >>afflicated user, I think I've fixed it.
