Use `free` to find the real amount of used memory on your server (look at the +/- buffers section)</span></font></p><p><font size="2" color="#000080" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000080">

<br><br> /*used only if PKG_MALLOC is defined*/<br> #define PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE 1024*1024<br><br> /*used if SH_MEM is defined*/<br> #define SHM_MEM_SIZE 32<br><br><br> 2. I've compiled my ser with <br><br> #define PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE 1024*1024*512
<br><br> ans started using ser -m 100 option with children=4 and listening on two ips<br><br> when I started memory usages was seems to fine for few days(3-4) less then 1GB but after that nealy 1.7 - 1.8 GB of memory usage and when I do top:
<br><br> 16165 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.3 2.7 0:16.34 ser<br> 16167 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.3 2.7 0:15.89 ser<br> 16164 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.3 2.7 0:16.29 ser<br> 16166 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.7 2.7 0:16.16 ser

<br> 617 * 11 = 6787 MB of memory but in my machine I've only 2 GB Physical RAM and it never uses Swap ? <br> if 54 * 11 = 594 ? but free -m and top shows more memory usage ?<br><br> can please explain me in brief . I'll be really thankfull. B'coz of this I'm facing may problem.
