my tomcat has more than 9 lives
by Philip S Tellis 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

I have tomcat running through apache (mod_jk). No one ever uses it though, so technically, it shouldn't be doing anything. However, I've noticed that after a day or so, there are about 30 java processes running, all attached to tomcat. The logs show that no one tried to access it (in fact, other than me, no one's even used apache on the machine). These processes take up loads of cpu time and basically slow down the machine. Any ideas? Anything I should try? Anything else you need to know? Philip -- Did you know that for the price of a 280-Z you can buy two Z-80's? -- P.J.

Make sure you put the lilo within 1024 cylinders because older kernels have this limitation. Fdisk (from linux cd) will give you the cylinder no details. Accordingly create the partitions that you want for win98 (d:) swap, /boot, /usr and /root. Install lilo on the MBR.

Hi friends, I was able to compile a new linux kernel 2.4.4 on my office comp and booted fine. However whenever i do a linuxconf, it gives me a Broken pipe error. Also, i could not do depmod -ae linux-2.4.4 after copying the bzImage and System.map and did just a depmod -ae Please advise.
