AW: [hobbit] OT: CentOS mem usage.

[Thomas]

Hi Pascal,

But I have tried this, and it gives me the application which has only 
1.8% of the memory. I need an overview of each process and what memory 
is actually used by it. If its a memory leak will the original process 
still own the memory ?

I am affraid I am not a linux guru so I dont know how linux manages the 
memory. Ie if a applcation frees some memory will the manager only 
release it after some time in case the application need some memory 
soon, or will it keep it until all available memory is used and only 
then start to free unused memory ?

Regards, Thomas
