"kill [pid]") rather than a "hard" kill (ie. "kill -9 [pid]").&nbsp; Normally a soft kill is enough to get rid of it and there's less chance of repository corruption in that case too.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Peter</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 04:37:27 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/error-outofmemoryerror-permgen-space/m-p/194957#M148087 pmonks 2008-09-16T04:37:27Z
