Memory problem

[nithink]

Hi,
I've a cronjob which runs every 15 minutes to get a file from a remote site thru ftp. But from late evening y'day the cronjob is not running and is throwing these error messages. Can you please let me know whats the solution for this ? your help appreciated.

This is the error message I'm getting from the output of cron. It doesnt even start the cronjob.

sort: can't mmap anonymous memory: Resource temporarily unavailable

In order to help you better, please post the crontab line and the script(s) it invokes. Dickie Bird (-)))

Hi Henry, This runs on Solaris 5.8

p.s : Hi Dickiebird,
I'm not the owner of the cronjob.
So I dont have the crontab line. Actually it was running fine till y'day evening.

Thanks.

grep tempo /usr/include/sys/errno.h
you get: EAGAIN
man mmap
look for EAGAIN in RETURN VALUES && ERRORS
