That is the ammount of memory in 1024 bytes that the process is using at the time that the ps was run. This number can be helpfull in figuring out how many of something you can run simultaniously. Note that things like webservers may have widely varying ammounts of memory use depending on the mix of transactions at the particular time. Vmstat(8) is also a good utility for viewing overall memory usage. The man page for ps(1) and vmstat(8) are both reasonably helpfull. chris __ Chris Fedde <cfedde@fedde.littleton.co.us> 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
