After days of work, without rebooting my box, it suddenly slowed down. My filesystem is just
41% of the total size that my hard disk can hold. I executed "free" to check on the available
memory resources. I found the following information:
[edelarosa@eadelarosa xxx]$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 505220 428728 76492 0 16860 195208 -/+ buffers/cache: 216660 288560 Swap: 1052248 194312 857936
Well, I don't really want to reboot my box. Is there a way that I could refresh (or probably
release the unused) resources of my box? After all, some of my previously used
applications (eclipse, jboss, and mysql) have been shutdown for quite a long while now.
