I agree.
L4D isn't as much of an issue as it appears to restart itself frequently
when it goes from in-use to hibernating. But for other games like TF2,
CSS etc. chucking a 0 5 * * * killall srcds_i486 into the crontab of
the user running your games servers is useful, as long as the startup
Like ics said, you can't necessarily go by the amount of memory the OS
says is used. Once a process is given some amount of memory, Linux
earmarks that memory as used. However, if it's not actually being
used and another process needs it, it will get reallocated.
The following is the output

Hello,
I have been managing an L4D srcds server for 3 months, and
unfortunately, I can't solve a memory problem. srcds_i486 grows in
memory and never decreases (except, of course, when it crashes...)
I'm running srcds_i486 on FreeBSD, and my first reaction was to accuse
BSD about a bad Linux
Install more memory to the machine or reboot the gameserver(s) more
often to free some. It wont free any by itself. Srcds has always been
leaking memory and it looks like that it will always will.

What the heck? Of course it's a problem! Nobody wants his box to leak
memory until a crash inevitably happens!
Linux dont use memory as Windows does.

Linux reserves all memory to its use so for example cmd top may show
thata all memory is used but when the all memory is really on use (as
shown with cmd free), the server first starts swap to disk and when swap
(that's usually 2x the memory installed) runs out, shit hits the fan.
Just kill
