Yes I'm not sure how this can happen either. I use the init.d stop scripts, and as far as I can see httpd does shutdown cleanly, so where this memory goes is unknown to me. My only fix to that so far is a reboot.

How can a Linux process grab some memory from the OS, and then not give it back when it exits? My admittedly incomplete understanding of such things, was always that when a process exits, any resources it still owned should be freed, no ? (unless some other process, still alive, by now would own these resources). --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
