Mouth Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I have what I would call/experience as a memory leak with my Mandrake 9.2 system. I watch the memory usage slowly climb (via superkaramba's tmon) until approx. 24-48 hrs after a reboot I get a total freeze (no response to keyb, CTRL-ALT-BKSPCE, etc.) where only hitting the reboot button will do. What tools are available to me to try and identify what applications/applets are causing the problem? I have tried using ps and top, but don't seem to get what I want out of them .. that being to be able to run an application/tool every couple of hours that will show me what application is using what amount of memory and see after x hrs that application/applet/service xyz is growing slowly. After reboot I am using 274Mb of RAM (according to tmon) which slowly climbs to anywhere around 400Mb-510Mb (+ sometimes swap) until the lockup/freeze. Thanks.
