OOM Killer is killing the Java processes without using the swap?

Hi All,
We are using RHEL 5 64 bit on blade server CISCO UCS B230-M2.
Below is the memory details on the server. I could see from the sar -r command it did not used the swap memory at all but it calls the OOM killer everyday.
su@ /root-> free -g
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           125        119          5          0          2         81
-/+ buffers/cache:         35         89
Swap:          251          0        251
The issue is occuring every day and doesnt allow any user to connect to the server in that perticular time, After some time we could see the below messages in /var/log/messages and once the java processes are getting killed it allow the new telnet connections.
Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thanks,

It looks like you experience low memory exhaustion. The kernel uses low memory to track allocations of all memory and the more memory you have, the more low memory will have to be allocated. When low memory is exhausted, it doesn't matter how much high memory is available, the oom-killer will begin killing processes to keep the server alive. There are a number of bug reports and patches available regarding this problem affecting Enterprise Linux kernels 4.4 - 4.8. Other solutions are to move to a 64-bit kernel or use 32-bit hugemem. Are you running NFS?
Perhaps you might want to try the following:
# cat /proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection
You can try to increase the value and see what happens:
# echo "250" > /proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection
To set this option on boot, add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf:
vm.lower_zone_protection = 250
As a last resort effort, you can disable the oom-killer. This option can cause the server to hang, so use it at your own risk.
Check status of oom-killer:
# cat /proc/sys/vm/oom-kill
Turn oom-killer off/on:
# echo "0" > /proc/sys/vm/oom-kill
# echo "1" > /proc/sys/vm/oom-kill

    The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
    If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
    Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

    The desktop applications are still installed on your computer, and the files are also saved on your computer.
    Optionally you can upload files with a browser to https://creative.adobe.com/files, or sync up files using the file sync that is part of the Creative Cloud desktop application. The online file storage is private to you, no one else can see it your files.
    If you do want to share your files there are two options:
    You can Collaborate, which is sharing a folder with another Adobe ID. Only the person you collaborate with can see the folder.
    You can use Send Link to send a publicly accessible url to a file or folder.

  • How to dismiss the spelling dialogue without using the mouse

    I'd appreciate the right tip from anyone on how to dismiss the spelling dialogue in Mail without using the mouse. (I'm one of those guys who likes to use the keyboard as much as possible.) Here's the scenario:
    I open a new message in Mail, type my text, press Cmd-Shift-D, then (because I have it set to check spelling when I "click send") up pops the spelling dialogue. That's fine as far as it goes, but many times I don't need any corrections because either I don't care or because the words are fine but just not recognized by Mail. So until now what I do is use the mouse to click on the far left one of the three round buttons in the upper left corner of the dialogue. I would like not to have to use the mouse, but pressing Esc or any other keys I try doesn't work to make it go away.
    Your advice is welcome! Thanks.

    Well, that window is actually a floating window, which means that it is meant to hang around. Notice that if you move Mail to the background (without hiding it), the spelling window hides itself, then shows itself again when you bring Mail back to the front. Floating windows are kind of in their own little world, meant to float above windows while not interfering with keystrokes sent to the frontmost window.
    I would argue that it shouldn't be a floater, because nobody's going to want it around once they're done checking spelling. But that's kind of a matter of opinion, and obviously Mail's designers thought differently.
    BTW, in the course of writing this, I discovered something -- if you click in the spelling window, so that you could type in the field there, Command-W will actually close the floater. But, of course, that still requires a click in the window with the mouse.

  • Is it possible to run a java program without using the command prompt?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether it is possible to run a Java program (not an applet) without using a command line in the command prompt?
    Basically I want to run a program that will be continually running in the background and hence I don't want to have a command prompt screen loaded up as well - I just want the program to be running in the task bar.
    I know how to run the program in the task bar - but I still need to launch the program from the command prompt - is there anyway I can get a program running without having to start it from the command prompt?
    Cheers

    Or create a desktop shortcut (in Windows) or an application launcher ( in Linux GUI).

  • Is there a way to automatically resize the text box to fit the text inside, without using the selection tool to resize the corners in Illustrator and Photoshop?

    I'm wondering if there is a way where I can quickly resize a text box to fit exactly around the text inside, so pretty much the smallest the text box can go without being too small to fit the text? I know you can do this manually with the selection tool, but is there a button/command that automatically does this in one go?
    Thanks

  • Accessing the top menu without using the mouse

    i just switched from a pc and am trying to figure out how to use the keyboard most efficiently. how do i get to the top menu (file, edit, etc.) off of keystrokes? once i'm up there i can just use the arrow keys to move from menu to menu.

    I deffinitly saw this and tried it. It is possible to do. I just don't use it and I forgot how. I saw it during the first months of last year on the Apple start up page under something like hot new tips for using Tiger or some such.
    I copied this from an entry by someone else:
    get a book called "The Missing Manual: Mac OS X, Leopard Edition" this book is the greatest information source for a mac I have ever seen. It tells you step by step how to basically do anything you want on a mac. For a 25-30 dollar investment, 900 pages of information, i felt it was well worth it. it can be picked up online and at your local barnes and noble or borders.
    It is probably in this book if we can not find it in "key board short cuts" here in apple support.
    hope you find it

    Hmmm, I can't see where the confusion originates. The table near the bottom of www.apple.com/timecapsule/specs.html has one row labelled "For backup using Time Machine" and another row labelled "For AirPort Disk with a USB hard drive".
    The requirement for backup via Time Machine is OS 10.5.1 or better. Time Machine is not supported in pre-Leopard (OS 10.5) nor in Windows.
    The requirement for using Time Capsule as a remote disk is identified as "Mac with Mac OS X v10.4.8 or later" or "PC with Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista; Bonjour for Windows (included on Time Capsule CD)".
    Doesn't that pretty much spell out that Time Capsule works as a network drive without the need for Time Machine?
    Also Joe (the OP) never indicated any desire to use it with Windows so I'm not sure why all the discussion about Windows compatibility. ??
    Also the quote posted by Henry seems pretty clear:
    "Time Capsule with Time Machine in Leopard is the ideal backup solution. But that doesn’t mean Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can’t enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because it mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily."

  • Is there a way to turn the iPad off without using the power button?

    I have the new iPad air.
    LOVE IT!
    One thing though...I have a folio style cover on it, magnet closure = power off.
    The case does not allow for power button access, and there are times when I wish for a way to power it off without closing that cover.
    Does anybody know if there is a gesture that can power it off?
    If, not, needs to be one.
    Or, perhaps, a desktop "button" that can do that too. It would probably be an app.
    So, there's my question, thanks for any reply anybody can make on this!

    Completely power off? no. But it will automatically to go sleep after a period of time. You can set the period of time, 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes or never. in 'settings, general, autolock'
    Really, you don't need to totally power it down during its normal use. Mine just goes to sleep all the time and works just fine.

  • Is there a way to automatically resize the text box to fit the text inside, without using the selection tool to resize the corners in Illustrator?

    I'm wondering if there is a way where I can quickly resize a text box to fit exactly around the text inside, so pretty much the smallest the text box can go without being too small to fit the text? I know you can do this manually with the selection tool, but is there a button/command that automatically does this in one go?
    Thanks

    The short answer is No. But I see that Ray has given you an option.

  • How do i include named event handlers in the event loop without using the optional preregister/postregister clause.

    The register statement in preregister/Postregister clause is especially useful for including named event handlers in the event loop.
