well, yeah. But as Warren said, what does free say? Having all the memory in use is a feature, linux uses unused memory to store buffers/cache the hard disk. If jan is convinced that some program really has a memory leak (not surprising, that does happen once in a while) then he could try running free, stopping one service, running free, stopping the next service, etc., to see what service is the culprit. top should tell him what the problem application is too though. if it doesn't, then it's likely buffers/cache. tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
