Hello All, Heard this on the WRS mail list this morning (all unsubstantiated rumors must be spread of course) >> >> I run telnet a few times and execute the memShow command. I see that >> the memory is slowly decreasing. I see that some is recovered from >> time to time but not all. Is this a known problem? Is there a config- >> uration step that I missed when setting up my system. > > There is a memory leak when you issue the logout command. We noticed this > because after may telnet login and logouts we ran out of memory. I talked > to WindRiver technical support and they acknowledged the problem. A > workaround was to logout using the sp command. I created my own symbol to > call sp with logout as a parameter. The memory leak is caused because the > logout command exits the shell parser abnormally leaving memory allocated. > By spawning the logout command the shell parser can free it allocated memory Jeff ______________________________________________________ Jeffrey O.
