Hi List,

My lasso instance has a tendency to continually use more and more server resources until it can no longer perform certain functions (like interacting with google cal or zipping files in a shell). I have to issue a =91lasso8ctl restart=92 and then things work again. Sometimes it takes a couple days to reach this point, sometimes it only takes a few hours. Lately its been closer to the 6-12 hours. The constant monitoring is driving me nuts and it doesn=92t prevent users from experiencing errors prior to my restart.

I=92ve written in about this before and gotten conflicting advice on what to do about it. I=92ve been told to write a process that will automatically restart the server every few days, but then my co-locator told me that it was a bad idea because sometimes it fails to restart (though I=92ve never seen this happen when I do it manually) and then everything is down until I look.

I=92d like to be more proactive and figure out what the actual cause of the consumption is and fix it rather than look for methods to react to a broken service. My websites still mostly run when this problem is occurring - only certain features fail. So I tried running those pages lots of times to see if I could change the resource consumption. I couldn=92t.

Is there a log file that would help me to understand what causes this? I can=92t keep checking on my server twice a day forever (and really I need to do it more often than that).

Here=92s the output for the lasso8 process in top:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
12292 lasso 20 0 6718m 2.3g 18m S 0.7 17.0 17:35.44 Lasso8Service

It=92s the 2.3g number that is so problematic, I believe. That starts off at about 70mg after the restart.
