Dear All<BR><BR>I shall greatly appreciate and honour, if anyone can suggest the
solution to the below mentioned issue.<BR><BR>The O/S of the m/c. is RHEL AS 3.0
with kernel 2.4.21-20. with x86_64 and taroon update 3. The RAM is 2GB with swap
memory another 2GB. The server is functioning as mail server and this is the
only application which is loaded onto the system with a third party vendor's
mail application package.<BR><BR>For quite some time the swappable memory itself
was found to be consumed rather exhausted to its full quota of 2GB by the
application resulting in no free memory for subsequents tasks to execute. As a
result of this not only the application but also the system itself becomes
frozen/hangs. The system becomes inaccessible even through remote machines using
rlogin or putty etc to revive. Being the mail sever it is not desirable to have
such frequent interruption in its service.<BR><BR>1. The question is that how to
retrieve/restore the swap memory back to its full quota?<BR>2. How to restore
the system when it attains hung state without using brute force / hot or cold
boot?<BR><BR>Your guidelines and suggestions shall be highly appreciable and
valuable.<BR><BR>with kind
