Out of Memory, what's workaround... / Growth in VM size of the processes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have two logs for ps commands with different same processes running on it,
they show that the vmsize of processes are growing while they are running.

Can any one on the list suggest some pointers as why is this behaviour.

~Abu.
