Hi,

Please can you provide the output for df -kh output for the Server.

Cheers.

Please post the name and version of your Operating System, your preferred shell ... and the script itself.

It shouldn't have anything to do with how many files you have, it's complaining about RAM. Either this script is incorrectly demanding impossibly huge amounts of memory for some reason, or the error means exactly what it says -- out of swap, or memory.
