Dumb Question: Java Heap

[texneus]

How do I set the Java heap size in the Linux server? I found some posts that discuss a sagesettings file, but I don't seem to have one and nor do I know what to put in it. I found where it is set in startsagecore, but simply changing the value from -Xmx512m to -Xmx1024m or any other value doesn't seem to do anything? Any value I put in and SageTV still reports (Used/Total/Max) 187/292/805MB (+/-, depending on when I look at it).

Thanks!

After some poking it seems the heap displayed in the client is the heap of the *client*. Knowing that, the original question still stands but is amended to include 'How do I monitor the heap of the server'?

Thanks again!

Figured it out...

I'm sure there is a more elegant way to do it, but javaheap is indeed set by the JAVAMEM line in sagestartcore. You need to look at system info in placeshifter to see the server heap...

Glad you figured it out. You might have noticed that script calls sagesettings, so putting JAVAMEM into sagesettings also works (the advantage is that sagesetting is never updated during an upgrade/re-install). You might also have to set the execute bit on sagesettings as well. (And yes, it's not there by default, so you'd have to create it)
