Greg,
Are all these processes running out of the same CWD (directory)? Try
creating temp directories for each process and run the code from those
directories.

Daryl,
I have several shell scripts that I'm running out of cron every 5 minutes. Each shell script
runs 10 gpmap_gf processes in sequence. I've tried running 1 - 6 scripts at a time. This
typically works fine during the day with one of the these scripts completing in about 2
minutes. As evening comes on they take longer and longer to run and it seems like that take
more and more memory. From the "top" command the scripts often use 500-800 MB of
memory but in the evening this seems to mushroom to > 3GB per script. The load on the
machine at night from these scripts alone jumps to >30 and by morning the machine usually
dies with out of memory errors even though I'm automatically killing the scripts when they run
longer than 2 minutes.
Looking at /var/log/debug.log I'm seeing segfault errors:

Does anyone generate a lot of individual NEXRAD level III products with

Velocity from 30 radars in the midwest and its crashing my server after a few
hours, even when I only run 3 plots at a time. I'm running GEMPAK6.4.0 on a
RHEL 6 machine with 64 GB of memory. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong and if
someone has a better way of doing this.
crashing your server, how? Exhausting memory? kernic panic? Are the
processes not going away once running them? How are you running them?
