Please consider the following command for the imagemagick package:
sudo convert -resize 460x200 /path/to/test1.jpg /path/to/test2.jpg
Now test1.jpg
is a fairly large image (12.5MB), but not unheard of sizes, but the server I am working from only has 1G of memory (Amazon EC2 t2.micro if it helps)
No error is being thrown, and yet no test2.jpg
is being created. I have tested this with smaller images and it works fine. I would have thought 1G if memory would be plenty to manage a resize, but perhaps not?
What are my options, do I have to get more memory or am I missing something?
Any suggestions are very welcome!

strace output shows: +++ killed by SIGKILL +++
along with alot of commands that look normal (opening /usr/share/local
and reading long strings, which I assume is image data)
free gives me:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1016292 278348 737944 6412 460 13356
-/+ buffers/cache: 264532 751760
Swap: 0 0 0
So it looks as if swap is not enabled, so I will look into creating a swapfile to see if this sorts my issues.
File gives me:
testprint10Mbv2.jpg: JPEG image data, EXIF standard
I would also paste the full /path/to/img but unfortunately it contains sensitive data (client email addresses etc)
sudo
in this command?-limit memory 64MiB
(32MiB is a bit too small probably. Default is 1.5GiB). And it should give you some descriptive output in case it fails.strace
appended in front of the command, see what system calls are made, errors thrown. Let us know
