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

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.

Our customer is asking us to explain what is using the memory and we have
no answer.

If you'd like a more detailed explanation than Joseph's reply, check

favorite web browser and search for "linux memory management".
