A quick question

A customer of mine asked me if he could have a "crawler like Cron job" running 1000x a day, the program takes 20480 of memory according to PROCMON .. humm .. what's PROCMON ?, and does PROCMON disply in bytes or Kb ? .. should I stay away from this one ?

Also, how can I check if I have LWP installed ?

thanks

PROCMON is a resource usage program (Processor Monitor) to my knowledge it displays in bytes. I have no experience with this program personally but have seen it used. As for the "Cron job" I would get more details before making a decision.

As far as I know procmon reports in bytes so this 'crawler type' script will use 2MB (Not a lot) - but I am willing to bet that it hammers the CPU when it runs. I am also willing to put money on the fact that this crawler is used for reading email addresses from web pages and storing them in a database (I wonder what for? ).

Yep, I am also 100% sure that must be it, but you can't never tell, anyway, I told him we could not hot him .. I don't need the trouble
