Problem: you suspect the RAM in your server, or you wish to stress the
system a little and see that it is still reliable
Answer: install my background memory tester!
# F=ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/memtest
# rpm -Uhv $F/e-smith-memtest-0.0.1-04.noarch.rpm \
$Fmemtester-2.93.1-01.i386.rpm
# /sbin/e-smith/config set memtest service status enabled
# svc-start memtest
Logs will be found in /var/log/memtest
Do:
# svc-stop memtest
# /sbin/e-smith/config set memtest service status disabled
to stop testing
Problem reports (or gifts
) direct to me please.

It's been pointed out that I've made a significant oversight here. Quite
right. Credit for the memory tester rightly goes to Simon Kirby and
Charles Cazabon. *They* developed the memory tester. More details here.
http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/memtester/All I've done is do the packaging and put together the execution
environment (which uses Dan Bernstein's fine tools).

There's a typo there. This is the correct command:
# F=ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/memtest
# rpm -Uhv $F/e-smith-memtest-0.0.1-04.noarch.rpm \
$F/memtester-2.93.1-01.i386.rpm

Remember Simon and Charles in your Christmas wishes also

A little reading at the web site you mention should tell you. memtest86
runs instead of the operating system. memtester runs as a process within
the OS.
