$vi mem
#!/bin/bash
uprog ()
{
sleep 60
}
count=0
while [ "$count" -lt 10000000 ] ; do
uprog &
echo $count
clear
count=`expr $ count + 1`
done
$chmod +x mem
$./mem
Note :
It suppose to eat all the memory and when there is no memory left start
with the swap... but it shouldn't kill the system, if everything is ok.
I tested my own system with this and never happened a crash... also try
to keep the script until it reaches like 3000 or so and Ctrl+C and you
will start to see a decrees of memory usage and cache is freeing up,
but its temporary until the kernel will start again caching the memory.
Like all the guys said before, the Linux kernel works this way, if you
client or whatever needs to know "Why?" take a tour of the Linux
kernel, how it does the memory management and I think it will be
explained there.

Hello Frnds,
I wanted to clear the cache in RHEL 4 Update5. I tried this command "echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/ drop_cache" for clearing the cache but when i check in vm folder
there is no file "drop_caches" . so some one can guide me how i can clear the
cache. is there any other way???
please find the meminfo command output.
