Top shows shared memory, but I'm not clear how to read shared memory with ps. I'm curious how much total memory these Apache process are using -- and how much is shared between the processes.
Does RSS include memory that might be shared with other processes? $ ps --ppid 29903 -F UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD 112 29908 29903 1 16016 46480 0 18:52 ? 00:00:04 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL 112 29909 29903 1 15908 46160 0 18:52 ? 00:00:03 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL 112 29910 29903 1 16002 46556 0 18:52 ? 00:00:04 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL 112 29911 29903 0 15528 44568 0 18:52 ? 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL 112 29912 29903 0 15759 45504 0 18:52 ? 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL 112 29918 29903 0 16007 46452 0 18:52 ? 00:00:02 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL 112 29920 29903 0 16067 46748 0 18:52 ? 00:00:02 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL $ ps --ppid 29903 v PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND 29908 ?

Shouldn't that come from /etc/passwd? $ fgrep 112 /etc/passwd subversion:x:112:112:subversion:/var/lib/projects:/bin/sh -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
