Re: ps vs free again

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Hi,
    I just tried top, but it seems it is showing the same info as free which is
included the memory cached but can be freed
if another program requests in the memory used section.
    What I want to know is the exact amount memory used by system, I don't want the
cached memory.

Thx.
