Setting Heap Size (Linux Server)

I could not find this in the Lucee documentation, so I wanted to check how to properly set the heap size on a Linux server (Ubuntu in my case).

Is this the proper procedure:

1. Create setenv.sh file
Create a file new named setenv.sh in the following location.

sudo nano /opt/lucee/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh

2. Add the JAVA_OPTS line
In the file, add JAVA_OPTS line with the desired memory values. For example:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m";

Save the file.

Questions

• What restart command do I then use so that these values go into effect?

• How can I check the heap settings? I want to verify the new values are being used.

• What are the recommended min and max heap settings for a 2 Gb server?
