Sorry for wasting the bandwidth on this issue. I later
realized that in three out of four refreshes of the webpage
the light was green and the fourth one was yellow.
Re-reading the included note helped to explain the reason
for the yellow light. Possibly this could be specifically
spelled out in the "Note:" for us newbies who don't know
that "This
behavior is perfectly normal, and reflects the dynamic,
multi-tasking nature of linux." means "you gonna see yellow
lights now and then".
Also explaining exactly what the threshold is and if there
is a way to set it to not be so sensitive. Not exactly sure
what I would do if I saw a red light or at what point I
might see a red light and/or what the implications would be.
i.e. Am I running too many packages, is my memory going bad,
did my log files fill up, is my ramdisk misallocated?
Just some thoughts.

Subject: [Leaf-user] Memory Warning Yellow too quick?
I guess I don't really know what the memory stoplight is
trying to tell me but I have a strange occurrence in that
they light is Yellow and when I click on it inside it is
green 'ok' and shows the following:
:: Memory Status ::
Sat Dec 15 22:40:47 EST 2001
firewall Memory Status: ok
Free Memory
38 % of your system memory is currently used.
9000 K bytes available
1472 K bytes free
NOTE: You may notice changes in the memory status,
especially if you are near one of the threshold levels, as
memory is allocated and freed to run the web server. This
behavior is perfectly normal, and reflects the dynamic,
multi-tasking nature of linux.

I think I have 16 M RAM but I forget right now what it is
and I don't particularly want to reboot. Do I need to
re-allocate something or change where I store things. Any
hints or should I just not worry about it? By the way the
light comes up green first then goes to yellow less than an
hour after a reboot.
