[Orca-users] Too many files created

[Derek Winkler]

Some of my systems create a new file in ~/orca/var/orca/orcallator every 5
minutes...

-rw-r--r--   1 root     other        3900 Jul 07 16:40
orcallator-2004-07-07-200.gz
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other        3918 Jul 07 16:45

Whereas most of them create one file per day...

This creates lots of inodes and I believe causes orca to create many
processes when restarted sometimes.

Does anyone know why they would be doing this?

I thought they were all using the same config.

Orca 0.265 on Solaris 8 and orcallator.se.1.37.
