tracking memory resource issues
Hi all,
As a longtime Debian user, I really appreciate the
community that makes Debian the best. My question:
What is the best way to track down a possible
memory leak that I have no idea which program is
causing it even? Here is the problem:
I have a PIII-600 with 256 MB and an ATI Radeon
9000 pro. My memory usage is fairly low when I
first bootup and login. The apps that I leave open
usually are Mozilla-Thunderbird and Firefox and
then I will open other things now and then. I use
WindowMaker and GDM, as well. However after a few
days to a week the memory usage has gradually
climbed to unbearable. Further, even if I close
all programs and leave the computer on, the memory
usage doesn't drop to what it was when I logged
in. How can I trace what software is sucking my
memory?
Sincerely,
Brian
