*** Tech Tip: LISTSERV ***

Q: How can I adjust the amount of memory available to LISTSERV on my Linux system?

Answer by Liam Kelly
Senior Consulting Analyst, L-Soft

As with any application, LISTSERV must be allocated sufficient memory space in order to operate. When the available operating system memory is exhausted, applications can no longer operate normally. By far, the most common cause of LISTSERV application crashes on the Linux platform is memory limitation. Operations like indexing the notebooks of lists with especially large archives require a great deal of memory, and a failure of the operating system to allocate that memory can result in a crash. There are two ways to solve memory allocation problems: decrease the amount of memory requested (demand), or increase the amount of memory available (supply). A previous Tech Tip (Issue 2, 2007) discussed how to manage LISTSERV notebook files to reduce the amount of memory requested by LISTSERV. In this Tech Tip, we'll discuss how to manage the supply side of the equation.
