First off I am not a unix guy - I am using some scripting that I found on the web to do create real estate flyers using imagemagick version Version: ImageMagick 6.3.9 03/20/08 Q16 - everything seemed to be working fine on testing basis but once we started doing more flyers the unix server would crash. Basically the hosting providers pointed out that once the script was run - sometimes imagemagick would try and devour all the memory on the server and ultimately nothing on the server was accessible. Here is a copy of the php script we are using... obviously there are variables that are set prior to executing the script but was wondering - is there anything going on here that might cause this to happen? Or any suggestions? I am at a loss. A gentleman - Anthony Thyssen recommended to run unix server is single user mode and do some memory checks but I don't know how to do that or what that is... I also have a screen shot which shows IM gobbling up the memory just prior to losing contact with the server so I know that is what is happening. The command that was being executed at that time was where we place some text onto a canvas if that makes a difference... THANKS
