Greetings everyone.
Problem:
doing a 'ps -auxww' and grepping for 'idle', I get:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY S COMMAND
root 0 0.0 4.0 524M 20M ?? R < [kernel idle]
The man page for "ps" states that "VSZ" is "Process virtual address
size". So is that really 524 Meg that it has allocated? The %mem is
listed as 4.0, but 4% of 1 gig (real+swap) is close to 40 megs, not
524 megs.
Hardware/OS specs:
We have an AlphaServer 2100 4/275 with one processor,
512MB RAM, 512MB swap (deferred mode swapping).
We're running on DU 4.0B.
`uname -a` says:
OSF1 bigtest.mankato.msus.edu V4.0 564 alpha
Thanks for any information you can provide.
