Same here. Unfortunately, we have a rather stringent firewall-policy
and admin-console can not be made to work with vnetd. So we've tried
installing the Java GUI client on our workstations instead.
While this works and gives quite a performance boost over running jnbSA
on the master, we now see lots of bpjava-susvc processes accumulating
and leaving zombie processes. Exiting the GUI on the client will not
clean this up.
Only way to stop these processes from eating all the memory so far has
been to periodically "pkill bpjava-susvc" which, off course, is a very
lousy sollution.
