What does it mean when "apps" have this much memory? Back in week 14 I "solved" the situation using a reboot. My problem is that I don't know how to find those "apps" using top or ps. Any ideas? And what does "apps" in this context even mean? #gnu #linux #admin #helpwanted
@kensanata apps is your running processes. i never know how to use top (and usually prefer htop), but the easiest way would be to sort by %mem and see what uses the most
@CobaltVelvet Hm. What confuses me is that the processes listed at the top when sorting by %MEM seem reasonable web app services. I've now killed any that used more than 100M RES. Let's see whether that affects the reading.
@CobaltVelvet Hm, sorting by MEM% and killing the big ones definitely helps. So I guess my process farm is sometimes stuck. I need better debugging to find what these processes are doing.
