Re: Memory problem.
Yes, /proc is way cool, you can find out lots of good stuff there, however have a clue when catting files, some files dont like that :( for instance cat /proc/kcore would probably be a bad idea :) Jamie On Thu, 27 Apr 2000, Michael J Smith wrote: Here's my little secret-- If you go to /proc you will find files that tell you all about the system.
