/client_local/ and system performance
I'm running Solaris 8 on a Sun ULTRA 5(SPARC II CPU, 270 MHz) with 64 Mb of RAM.
The machine is very, very slow even doing normal tasks such as reading mail....... I'm nearly afraid to ask it to do some real work.......
On checking out the machine(which I only received last week from our IT dept), I find that the /client_local/ file system is 87% full. On further investigation of this, I find that this 87% usage is made up of files & software packages that the previous user had. I know these files are not needed anymore, so my main question is this : If I clean up the /client_local/ file system, is there any guarantee that I will see any improvement in my workstations performance?
Why dont I remove these files now and see??? The answer is that I dont have the necessary permissions to remove the items in question and my department will be charged a fairly high fee by the IT dept just for a simple '\rm -Rf *' command. So I dont want to incur a cost if there isnt a good chance of my situation being improved......

KEEPALIVED(8) System Manager's Manual KEEPALIVED(8)
NAME
keepalived - load-balancing and high-availability service
SYNOPSIS
keepalived [-f|--use-file=FILE] [-P|--vrrp] [-C|--check] [-l|--log-console] [-D|--log-detail] [-S|--log-facility={0-7}]
[-V|--dont-release-vrrp] [-I|--dont-release-ipvs] [-R|--dont-respawn] [-n|--dont-fork] [-d|--dump-conf] [-p|--pid=FILE]
[-r|--vrrp_pid=FILE] [-c|--checkers_pid=FILE] [-v|--version] [-h|--help]
DESCRIPTION
Keepalived provides simple and robust facilities for load-balancing and high-availability. The load-balancing framework relies on
well-known and widely used Linux Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module providing Layer4 load-balancing. Keepalived implements a set of
checkers to dynamically and adaptively maintain and manage load-balanced server pool according their health. Keepalived also implements the
VRRPv2 protocol to achieve high-availability with director failover.
OPTIONS
-f, --use-file=FILE
Use the specified configuration file. The default configuration file is "/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf".
-P, --vrrp
Only run the VRRP subsystem. This is useful for configurations that do not use IPVS load balancer.
-C, --check
Only run the healthcheck subsystem. This is useful for configurations that use the IPVS load balancer with a single director with no
failover.
-l, --log-console
Log messages to the local console. The default behavior is to log messages to syslog.
-D, --log-detail
Detailed log messages.
-S, --log-facility=[0-7]
Set syslog facility to LOG_LOCAL[0-7]. The default syslog facility is LOG_DAEMON.
-V, --dont-release-vrrp
Don't remove VRRP VIPs and VROUTEs on daemon stop. The default behavior is to remove all VIPs and VROUTEs when keepalived exits
-I, --dont-release-ipvs
Don't remove IPVS topology on daemon stop. The default behavior it to remove all entries from the IPVS virtual server table on when
keepalived exits.
-R, --dont-respawn
Don't respawn child processes. The default behavior is to restart the VRRP and checker processes if either process exits.
-n, --dont-fork
Don't fork the daemon process. This option will cause keepalived to run in the foreground.
-d, --dump-conf
Dump the configuration data.
-p, --pid=FILE
Use specified pidfile for parent keepalived process. The default pidfile for keepalived is "/var/run/keepalived.pid".
-r, --vrrp_pid=FILE
Use specified pidfile for VRRP child process. The default pidfile for the VRRP child process is "/var/run/keepalived_vrrp.pid".
-c, --checkers_pid=FILE
Use specified pidfile for checkers child process. The default pidfile for the checker child process is
"/var/run/keepalived_checkers.pid".
-v, --version
Display the version and exit.
-h, --help
Display this help message and exit.
