Hi there,

Thanks for the excellent extra information, it makes things a lot clearer.

Does the script contain the first two lines as in the version which
you sent to me?  If so, remove them.  See the 'man' page for the
'file' utility and use it on your script. :)

Maybe this will help too:

I'm not sure that's be enough memory for what you're doing, I suggest
at least 4GB.  From personal experience I'd recommend Nagios or Icinga
to monitor resource usage.  Depending on your familiarity with things
like Apache it can be a steep learning curve, but once you have it
under your belt it's difficult to imagine working without something
like that when you have to look after more than about half a dozen
systems.
