To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 14:00:21 +0200 (CEST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL38 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I want to limit the usage of physical RAM to 20MB for a specific process. I tried a little with limits -m 20M /path/to/process but it still shows up in ps with 50M in the RSS field. Any hints what to do?
