can t find a process

[K. Schuffenhauer]

I cannot allocate memory, but i also cannot
find a process which needs that memory.
This thing happens twice a week, usually
i reboot the machine to get rid off the processes.
How can i find the process which need the memory? Where do they
come from?

Try using glanceplus and program top.

Check your kernel parameters:
allocate_fs_swapmap=0
bufpages=0
nbuf=0
swapmem_on=1

Then you can find the processes by using GlancePlus or running program top.

Look for hung processes. There could also be some shells hanging out there. If you are running a database, correlate the processes with the shells and see if there are any shells not doing anything. Well, they would be doing something - using up system resources.

Hi,

try using glance and see the memory report maybe it's help otherwise try top and you will be able to see the memory allocated for runnable processes.
