#239 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError in headless mode with default options

[Ravi Joshi]

Hi,

I am running console (The Grinder 3.11) in headless mode with default options. Each time I am starting it, it is showing out of memory error.

root@dell:~# /opt/jdk1.7.0_01/jre/bin/java -classpath /opt/grinder_console/lib/grinder.jar net.grinder.Console -headless

As suggested by Phil, changing the grinder.console.scriptDistributionDirectory in .grinder_console file to different directory helped and it worked (Although the parameter grinder.console.scriptDistributionDirectory was absent in the .grinder_console file).
