Question UNIX memory problems
I don't know if this is better suited for the application section, but here goes.

We are currently running HP-UX 11 as our database server. The database is Progress version 9.1C.

As of late, some of our batch processes that run on the UNIX db server are erroring out because of what appear to be memory issues(at least according to Progress). The db error messages indicate that either there are too may subprocesses and it cannot fork, there is not enough memory to execute the request, or there is not enough memory to allocate a sort buffer. There does not appear to be a consistent pattern to when this happens. Also, we don't appear to be exceeding swap space.

Not sure what else it could be. If any of you have encountered similiar problems, how did you resolve it? Any and all feedback is appreciated.

-Ed

Arguments
       operation
		Function to perform on the database. The operation argument must be one of the following values:

		load   Converts the database in file filename, to format and overwrites the database specified.

		dump   Converts the database into form, and writes the result to file, filename.

		slave_dump
		       Performs  the same function as dump, and creates the file when finished.  The is used by to determine if a slave_dump is in
		       progress, or if it did not complete successfully.

		new_master_key
		       Prompts you for the old key of the Kerberos database as well as a new master key.  It converts  the  database  into  format
		       and,  at the same time, decrypts those sections of the database encrypted with the old master key and re-encrypts them with
		       the new master key.  The result is written to the file, filename.

       filename The name of the source file for the load operation or the destination file for the  operations:  dump,	slave_dump,  and  new_mas-
		ter_key.

       database The name of the database.  If the argument is not included, the Kerberos database is stored in files and by default.

Description
       The  command  allows  the Kerberos administrator to perform several functions on the entire Kerberos database of a master or slave Kerberos
       server in one operation.  The database argument specifies the name of the Kerberos database.  The Kerberos database utility reads from  and
       writes to the Kerberos database and, in addition, it reads from and writes to a file in format:	 filename.  A file is an ASCII representa-
       tion of a Kerberos database.  The functions that can be specified by the operation argument are listed in the Arguments section.

       Whenever the Kerberos database is changed by the modification time of is updated.  The file indicates the age of the database.
