Hi, reading the article "Why Is CUPS Taking Up A Lot Of CPU Memory And
How Can I Fix It?" from http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L247+T+Q i
understood that if you keep MaxJobs = 0 , cups will eat lots of memory
because it will keep those jobs in memory.
Well , in my environment i use MaxJobs = 0 , because there are a few
jobs that can not it be "rotated/deleted" for a few days, so i have a
script that purges, daily, all completed jobs from the other queues [
/var/spool/c* and /var/spool/d* ] and sends a HUP signal for cups. It
works fine, only the jobs that cannot be deleted will be left in cups,
but i have this doubt:
Will cups release the used memory after a HUP signal ? Is there
another approach to avoid jobs from an specif queue be kept and not
deleted if i use max jobs > 0 and this limit is achieved ?
