I may be missing something obvious, but here goes: I'm trying to find out a way to count up the amount of RAM in use in the system at a given time by given processes. Specifically, I'm trying to tune a dedicated web server/MySQL box so I can have as many apache proceses as is "comfortably" possible. The meaning of comfortable is to be determined. I looked at ps, but the only attribute I could find is pmem, which gives only a percentage. And those numbers were like 0.1, or .0. or 0.2, which isn't accurate enough. I also looked at top, but it only gives a pageful at a time, even if I do top -b. I tried a cheat like stty rows=200; top -b but no dice, and that doesn't seem very elegant to me. There have to be techniques and/or utilities in the ports collection, but I haven't come across anything. Cheers, Adam.
