My edgy server is showing 2GB RAM usage in top (even though ps aux is not showing any apps using even 0.1% of RAM). I am confused because the server is only running apache and mysql and apache isonly visible on the vpn and mysql is showing no unauthorised access, so I haven't been rooted.
Does top cache RAM usage stats or something? Is there anyway to get a true idea of how much ram is actually being used?
[Edit] Never mind Inever noticed the cache, which is at 1.8GB. I am curious as to what the heck is being cached though, the system is basically idle at the moment and has been since it was booted 34 days ago...
