Although not necessarily set on stone, if there isn't much swapping going on, your physical memory is *not* being maxed out. However, there are other indications of memory leaks. Try the usual tools: vmstat, free, top, ps. (Use `top` in moderation, though, as it also has performance implications if ran indefinitely.) Using `vmstat 5 5`, for example, you can look out for page-outs (so values are non-zero). You can also run `ps` to identify the processes using the memory. This is also an interesting mini-HOWTO: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2003-03/msg00077.html Hope this helps. -- Ian Dexter R.
