Has anyone experienced this:
I'm running redhat 8.0 on my desktop at the office. The machine is a Compaq SFF Pentium 2 with 196 Meg RAM and a 6 GIG disk.
Eversince I installed the OS I have had to reboot +/- every 7 days seeing that machine runs out of swap, with the HDD then going ballistic and the machine slowing down to a crawl. Originally the machine had only 128M RAM and I thought that THAT might be the problem, I then added another 64M and increased the swapfile from 256M to 512M. This have made no difference whatsoever.
A UNIX guru over here suggested I might have some kind of "memory leak."?
I really don't know where to start looking for the problem.
Below is the ouput from "top" and "ps".
PLEEAASSEE help!
Thanks & Regards,
Jacques
