Everyone vaunts those enterprise management software suites which consumes horrendous amounts of disk and memory yet we have to put it on every *****ing server...sigh...my poor unix boxes.

Anyways, today I get a call from Ops saying "Unicenter's using up one of the procs entirely, can you look at it?". I go look and see this:


Memory: 344772K (214292K) real, 1526852K (1344436K) virtual, 60556K free Page# 1/9

CPU TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU %CPU COMMAND
3 ? 3740 root 241 20 1031M 180K run 2796:02 93.02 92.86 oprsafd


The oprsafd is some daemon used by CA Unicenter and this bastard of a process has been alive for 2796 minutes (over 40 hours) and has consumed/locked/chewed through *ONE GIG* of memory...

I hate unicenter....bash trash loot and sack!
