    Ubuntu 10.04 :: Memory Leak Detection Help

    Hi All,

    I've noticed that my server's memory usage continues to climb over the days. When the system first boots, only 1GB of RAM is being used. However, as days pass, the memory usage gets higher. Also, I cannot determine which application is using the memory, as top does not show it.

    Here's some information regarding the running processes along with what top shows:

    ps -ef:

    Any ideas what might be causing this? How should I troubleshoot this further to determine the cause?

    Please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

    Here's some information regarding the running processes along with what top shows:

    Any ideas what might be causing this? How should I troubleshoot this further to determine the cause?

    Please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
    use the top command but we have to change it to memory

    Code:
    top
    shift + f
    n
    enter
    (\ /)
    (O.o)

    Thanks. However, the figures don't add up... what else is using memory? It seems that not all processes are shown.
