I am = interested to see what resources are used by which process. I am running = a server process that forks itself for every request, and am interested = to know how much memory is being used by this process. I am assuming = this would be the 'RES' column. I see sendmail 8.9.1 appears to use on = the order of one megabyte per process. Does this seem reasonable? This = would mean that to run 50 sendmail 'children' concurrently it would = require ~50 megabytes for data, plus stack and text area. Am I on the right track? Thanks, Tim ------=_NextPart_000_00CA_01BE0627.13046960 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>I have a question regarding the 'top' program = included in=20 FreeBSD.
