I got a problem that the VMsize and VMrss is larger than the physical memory. It was said that there are some libraries used by many processes simultaneously, so I am accumulating the shared component over and over because of there are more than one processes for apache.

So the data I got by this script is not exactly correct. do you have any idea about this?

Maybe you should just also try to solve the problem with C. You can either create a stand-alone program or maybe let it print the output to be used by a script, etc. Maybe something that interacts with the kernel or with some library. Sorry I really have not much idea.

I found this pages while trying to figure it out. Just in case you find something about it.

It was said that there are some double counted part because there are some libraries used simultaneously by many processes. Maybe it is the problem.

And altough I set up the script "sleep=2", but sometimes it takes longer than tens of minutes to get another data. Is that becaused the system is saturated?

Do you mean the time the data gets updated, or the time the script takes another loop?.. For the former I think it depends on how the kernel was configured for the time it should update the data in /proc.

I meant my monitoring script sleep 2 seconds before taking another loop.

And sometimes the data is /proc/pid/status was updated fast, because some data got by the script are only in several seconds.

for example:
ElapsedTime VmSize VmRSS
14:08:14:487053684 31643556 3456272
14:08:28:750838950 31643556 3456272
14:08:44:595622851 31643556 3456272
14:09:00:068480514 31643556 3456272
14:09:15:089910302 31643556 3456272
14:09:31:990478795 31643556 3456272
14:09:48:008821734 31643556 3456272
14:10:02:410624899 31643556 3456272


This is the data I got this afternoon. The results were all like this , in the beginning, the period between two records are small, but it got larger when the stress of the system became very high.
