We are loosing about about 500 MB of memory on a 1 GB server after running Apache/Tomcat on Linux for 24 hours. (We are trying to fit within 512 MB.) The strange thing is that after I shutdown Apache and Tomcat, the memory only recovers about 100 MB. vmstat still shows "Memory Cache" that takes up about 348380 KB.
I would think that if the memory is in apache/tomcat, then the memory should be recovered when I shut them down. Is that right? How could I get the memory back from the "Memory Cache" without rebooting? It's a web application with servlets, JSPs and static pages with Apache 1.3.22, Tomcat 3.2.4, RedHat Linux 7.1. I tried Sun JDK 1.3.1 and IBM JDK 1.3.0 with same results. Thank you for any help.
