/etc/rc invokes zephyrd with:
if [ "${ZSERVER}" = "true" ] ; then
if [ -f /usr/etc/zephyrd ] ; then
echo -n "zephyrd..." >/dev/console
/usr/etc/zephyrd & >/dev/console
else
echo "" >/dev/console
echo "Zephyr server not found" >/dev/console
fi
fi
It turns out that a zephyr server invoked this way will crash after a
while when it runs out of memory. We should use:
if [ "${ZSERVER}" = "true" ] ; then
if [ -f /usr/etc/zephyrd ] ; then
echo -n "zephyrd..." >/dev/console
/bin/csh -c 'unlimit; /usr/etc/zephyrd &' >/dev/console
else
echo "" >/dev/console
echo "Zephyr server not found" >/dev/console
fi
fi
