Java processes

[Mr.Ice]

Hi All,

Hostmonster support (Jarod) said that someone in this forum may be able to shed some light on something I'm attempting and failing at.

I've installed Jira (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/) which is a Java process that runs its own webserver and tomcat (by default).

So I launch it, and 2-3 minutes later it dies as if killed with SIGKILL. Nothing written to logs, nothing to stdout, no hint as to why it would stop running.

Up to that point it serves pages, but I can't seem to get very far in 2 minutes.

So, Jarod said that processes may be killed for CPU and memory usage issues -- are their thresholds so low that they could be killing it? Are there any tricks?

Is anyone else successfully running Java daemons?

Thanks for any insight you could share.

I have the same problem.

Ran tomcat with just 8mb of memory.
JAVA_OPTS=" -Xms8m -Xmx8m "

Tomcat manager shows JVM :
Free memory: 1.67 MB Total memory: 7.37 MB Max memory: 7.37 MB

Top still shows the java process using 44m of memory, and after about 1minute, the process is gone.

Where are you running this? e.g. system X operating system Y etc.

I have numerous instances of Jira running (I conslut on Jira).

I have never seen such an issue?

I would have thought that it would be killed off for taking too much CPU time? (i.e. the same thing that kills off PHP pages with SQL queries etc.)

The post strikes me as altogether commercial. It is pretty rare when someone digs up a 9 month old post, happens to mention that they "conslut on Jira" and the issue hasn't been solved or abandoned. Also, one doesn't see that many forum profiles that are fully defined by a first time poster without an ulterior motive. :)
