Try `ps aux` at your shell. It will give you columns indicating the VSZ and RSS of each process. VSZ represents the full virtual memory size of the process in kilobytes; RSS is the resident set size, or the amount of unswapped physical memory in use by the process (also in kilobytes). These two figures will give you an idea of how much memory is being consumed -- the latter (RSS) is your RAM use. -- Taylor Venable [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.metasyntax.net/
