OMSA 5 memory usage

Thanks Cody, Hadn't thought of that option.

What I have just found the most useful is to start all of the services from
the Dell srvadmin-services.sh script, configure the agent as I like, and
then stop the web server from the "Shutdown" tab in the web interface (under
the "Web Server" link at the top of the page.) This saves
stopping/restarting all of the other services, and is easier to do in the
web interface when I am done making adjustments.

Thanks guys. Problem solved!

Dave

You could also reinstall OMSA and opt to not install the web services.
