I have a Ruby rake process that does a whole lot of intensive data loading and manipulation. When run a against a particularly large file, the process will run for several hours (which is fine), but then it just mysteriously stops processing.
This is a large Mac Pro server running Lion with 16GM of memory. Here are some of the details:
- The nohup rake process does not die.
- Database activity stops abruptly.
- Nothing else is written to any of the Ruby on Rails logs.
Are there some kind of system logs that I can look at on Mac OSX to determine the problem?
