Is this problem being caused by it using too much memory, is there a maximum execution time on processes, or something else?

I'm sorry to hear of the trouble you are having. What is the name of the process you are trying to run? We would like to look into the situation.

Thank you,

I was wanting to run the process while not connected through Secure Shell and didn't want it to run at a high priority. So I ran this line in total.

nohup nice ~/bin/jre1.6.0_27/bin/java -Xmx256M -Xms256M -jar ~/mcs/mcs.jar &

Assuming that the command nice, by default, would have a parameter of 10.

I should mention, I also ran the command using 1024MB of memory and 512MB of memory as well. All acted the same way and ended suddenly in the same time span. So, "-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M" for 1024MB and "-Xmx512M -Xms512M" for 512MB. If that helps at all.

or can't be executed like, you think it can't? I had the program running for 2-3 hours without any problems. Then it suddenly got killed by the server.

I unpacked the latest linux binary executable for java into my bin folder. It works, it just gets killed after around 2-3 hour mark.

You can only run JavaScript if it is embedded in the actual page script, for example:

<script type="text/javascript"> var fadeimages=new Array() ...... }
this.rotateimage()
}
</script>

This above will be interpreted by the browser, and then displayed.

Be advised we do not have Windows servers, and that ASP is not supported also.

Thank you,

Let me first separate this new confusion that was made ( or maybe has been the cause of the confusion in the first place )
Java = A product by Oracle, previously owned by Sun, that runs virtual byte codes from .jar files
JavaScript = A client-side scripting language used on web pages interpreted through browsers

They are not the same thing. Now that that's out of way.

Let me re-state what the problem is.

1) I am running a linux binary executable. The file is called java. It is located in "***********/bin/jre1.6.0_27/bin"
2) When running this file, it takes the parameters of Xmx ( Set Maximum Heap Size ), Xms ( Set Minimum Heap Size ), and jar ( The file location )
3) java then runs as a background process on the server and automatically allocates the set amount memory.
4) I have run it and seen no CPU throttling during it's runtime and yet after 2-3 hours, the process is killed by the server.

Okay, my question is in regard to why it's getting killed after 2-3 hours of running. That's the information I'm looking for.

Maybe you should give your money to someone else.

Regardless, being a cocky ass isn't going to help your situation. It might make you feel better, but it isn't going to get you better service. If anything, you will get worse results.

You should know the importance of specificity, yet you are not explaining anything at all - not to us nor the tech support you are abusing (just because you pay a monthly fee to use a service, it does not mean that it gives you the right to speak to people as if they're below you. These people are trying to diagnose and solve a problem to which you provide incredibly little information).

I've had a look at Bluehost, and I notice that they support Perl, Python and Ruby/RoR - socket programming is possible in all three languages, so why not just use one of those?
