Hi all. Ok, I've got one server that's got a problem. I'm not sure which is the offending program, but until I get time to find it I kind of want to Band-Aid it for now. What's happening is I've got processes that are using memory but not releasing it after they close, then the memory fills up and dumps into the swap file, that overloads and the server dies. I'm looking for something that will go in and flush the physical memory every hour and clear out any memory that isn't locked by a given process. Basically memory that can be freed up and isn't needed anymore. I know they have a program called "freemem" that does something similar to this on windoze, but I'm just needing to totally clean out the dead, abandoned, orphaned, or unused physical memory without dumping it to the swap file to maximize available memory. Any ideas? Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
