policyd-weight cache - how to disable?

[pl.zenon]

Hello,
I would like to disable policyd-weight cache because I have vps with low amount of memory and generally I don't need this funcionality. I tried to create a config file in /etc/policyd-weight.conf with all settings copied from defaults and modified $CACHESIZE string to value "0". Unfortunately after that any settings doesn't change... (Of course I restarted policyd-weight after configuration file creation)

Could you tell me how can I disable caching in policyd-weight?

Cachesize is correct:

Code:

$CACHESIZE       = 2000; # set to 0 to disable caching for spam results.
                            # To this level the cache will be cleaned.

But it make more sense to disable unneeded services or tune some others to free some RAM - not ?

I exactly did it, but unfortunately policyd-weight don't read policyd-weight.conf from /etc. Maybe I have to create this file in the other path? But which one?

You have right, but I did it already. I configured mysql, apache, fastcgi, turned off postgrey, bind and some processes like rootkit checker from cron and I'm looking for next methods to decrease ram consumption. I hope disabling caching in policyd-weight will save several MB.

policyd-weight is written in perl, so you can just open the executable file with your favourite editor and perform a quick scan to find the path where it's looking for its configuration file.
