In converting a machine with 1G of physical RAM into a dom0 with significantly less, I neglected to remove this from sysctl.conf: kern.maxvnodes=250000 ...and so the 'find' was causing a swapping-death-spiral. I removed this, and increased dom0's memory by 64M for good measure, and I can now run the daily job from the commandline. Here's hoping I can avoid the overnight hang tonight. :-} Thanks for your help. +j
