Memory problem on HPUX 11.00

My server lost all free ( 500 MB) memory after 10 hours after reboot.

I cannot find any proces that increase it`s memory usage ( I tried find it witch ps,top, /opt/perf/bin/gpm ).

User usage of memory grow up, but any proces radically change it`s size.

Killing (stopping ) app. processes did not release the memory.

Lost of memory cause die of smtpd ( I must reboot ).

Any suggestions?
How could I list a memory usage better?

Re: Memory problem on HPUX 11.00

The following command will show all processes and their associated memory usage, if there is a large one, you have a leak
# UNIX95= ps 0e -o ruser,vsz,pid,args | sort -rnk2 |more

I will bet that the top user is the mib2agnt....

Mark

You are right. mib2agt ( I don`t know what is it ) is at the top of the list, but I don`t know if it is my problem.
Its size hasn`t changed during one hour.

Thank You

This is a well known problem in 11.0 the Patch PHSS_21046 will fix it...

The MIB is the SNMP (Simple network management protocol) agent.
