vm-pop3d hangs often

[prashantbhushan]

hello,
My vm-pop3d server hangs often. If there are more than 20 pop connections, it get slower and clients could not connect to the server.

part of /etc/init.d/vm-pop3d files is as below :-

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting vm-pop3d: "
daemon vm-pop3d -d 100 -t 100
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/vm-pop3d
;;
---------------------

I want to know what should be:

daemon vm-pop3d -d 100 -t 100
In order to work fine.


Thanks,
Prashant.

You can read the documentation for vm-pop3d and see if adjusting either of those figures will help.

-d is the maximum number of child processes. Perhaps 100 is too many for your server.

-t is the idle timeout in seconds after which the child process will give up the connection.

You can find the man file here.
