[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I have a question regarding the 'top' program included in FreeBSD. 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 [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>I have a question regarding the 'top' program included in FreeBSD.
