Hi,

I'm running RedHat 9.0 with 512M RAM. On this box, I run Tomcat 5.019, Cocoon 2.1.4, and Java 1.4.2_04. Cocoon is a servlet running within Tomcat.

When I start my machine, about 104M of the RAM is used when I cat meminfo from /proc.

When I start Tomcat (and thus Cocoon, Java), the meminfo jumps up to about 400M and continues to rise. Eventually, it reaches my RAM limit and Tomcat reports that Cocoon reports an out of memory error.

I need to see what processes are using what amounts of memory and be able to track it over time to see who the culprit is.

What tools would best suit my needs?

Thanks.

You can use top to track processor and memory usage of every process running on the system.

I'm having a similar problem on Suse 9.2
But when I use top and search by M, I see nothing spectacular. How can I find out where all the memory went to? Which process has it?

We've got Jonas "webserver" and oracle running on the server.
