Memory is used by the system as buffer/cache as long as your system doesn't have an excessive swapping on disk a 98% RAM usage as on free is doing fine. On 6/27/07, George Thompson <george@xxxxxxx> wrote:
Running RHEL4 We are uing weblogic which has three java proceses. The sum of the percentage memory used of these processes is about 42% . ps -aux | grep java | gawk '{ print $11, $4}' /opt/od-home/OpenDeployNG/jre/bin/java 0.3 /opt/java/liveJava/bin/java 24.2 /opt/java/liveJava/bin/java 18.1 If I do ps -aux and add up all the %cpu coulums it totals about 45%. Yet when i look at sar -r sar -r | gawk '{ print $1, $2, $5}' | head 12:00:01 AM %memused 12:10:01 AM 99.76 12:20:01 AM 99.72 It seems to think the memory is 99% used. But I cant see any other processes in the process table using any significant memory. Here is the contents of /proc/meminfo . I dont fully understand what all the entries mean.
