Hi,

Thanks to all of your reply.I can able to run my nickel script after restarting the diagmond(cstm) daemon.But still i am getting the Following message at runtime.
/opt/nickel/nickel[2]: There is not enough memory available now.

But my swapinfo message showing 27% of the memory only utilized by the system.Even swap space also free.So i what to know what are the ways i can use to get the real memory usage on my server.This may help me to point out the reason for memory error in runtime of the nickle script.

Thanks in advance.

"There is not enough memory available now."

There is nothing to do with the memory

Either you have get the latest nickel script from HP solution Center or increase the maxdsiz and maxssiz (ulimit -d and ulimit -s)
