First of all, I would like to apologize for sending this out as HTML the
other day. The mail client I use at work defaults to HTML. I usually
remember to set it to plain text before I send, but forgot in this case..

I am resending the original message, as I believe the fact that I got no
responses is because it went out HTML :)

Thanks..

Subject: question about 'top'


Hi,

I have a question regarding the 'top' program included in FreeBSD. I am
interested to see what resources are used by which process. I am running a
server process that forks itself for every request, and am interested to
know how much memory is being used by this process. I am assuming this would
be the 'RES' column. I see sendmail 8.9.1 appears to use on the order of one
megabyte per process. Does this seem reasonable? This would mean that to run
50 sendmail 'children' concurrently it would require ~50 megabytes for data,
plus stack and text area.

Am I on the right track?

Thanks,
Tim
