Hi,

Is there an alternative to h_vmem that checks resident memory rather than
virtual? I'd like a consumable that kills a job when it oversteps its
requested memory quota, so h_vmem is great. But I'm having trouble with
Matlab (and maybe other apps, haven't checked fully yet) which at startup,
allocates a somewhat-variable large amount of VIRT memory (~4G) but little
RES memory (~300M) (according to 'top').

Matlab's java environment is allocating most of the virtual memory, but
they can't tell me a way to limit this. In any case this large VIRT value
makes it impossible to set a smaller default h_vmem value because Matlab
won't launch.

Thanks for any thoughts.

-M
