[chef] Re: Re: Re: Application cookbook memory leak

[AJ Christensen < >]

Chef has built in support to fork the run when run from a daemon. Give it a shot and see if it helps. You'll likely still see the 500MB process usage, but the forked copy (where the memory is being used) should be terminated at the end of the run. [0]

You'll want 'chef-(client|solo) --fork'

Cheers,

I experienced this too with other cookbook too. Some take longer than others. I would take months
to bloat on sode nodes, but it can take all machine ram.
I did tried to look for the problem before without success.
So I ended using monit[1] to monitor chef-client, and everytime this one used more than 350mb, it
restarted it.
