I think the problem is really related to mmap. Have a look at /proc/$PID/maps and see a lot of references to mmap files: eletromidia:/proc/12407# ps -ef | grep zmwatch www-data 12407 12358 0 12:25 pts/0 00:00:17 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/local/bin/zmwatch.pl root 17920 11144 0 15:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep...

Another me too on this one. As soon as I kill zmwatch.pl the number of files used goes back to normal. eletromidia:~# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 1632 0 51140 eletromidia:~# kill 11613 eletromidia:~# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 1280 0 51140 eletromidia:~# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 1280 0 51140 eletromidia:...

Try the webcam utility that is bundled with xawtv. Works great for that kind of task, it can upload to an ftp site directly.

It shows you a remote desktop and you can run any X program on your server. It might ju...

You have to create a different config file for each additional camera you have, and point to that in the main motion.conf file. For example, you could call the additional files thread1.conf, thread2.conf and thread3.conf. Then you just add a reference to those files in motion.conf like so: thread /e...

cordel: what about setting it up with sf.net or google? Even if the code is not there, or maybe just a dummy part of the code, the bugtracking piece of those sites could be used? As for access to the svn for checkins, I agree, only trusted developers would get write access. But the rest with read ac...

Just to add my 2c to this one: I've been using ZM now for a couple of months and one of the things I keep thinking of is how to improve what is already an awesomely great system. But without a public svn/bugtracking system it feels like any work I may do on this would just be left unused, or just us...
