What should I be looking for?

Below is the top -o size after a reboot, followed by the current top after 8 datasets (the extra python process is the analysis app - at a low memory usage point): (Note that the original 2 python processes are web servers and that I have 3 postgres clusters running on different ports, pending a move to separate machines - assuming I can solve this problem) PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 599 msf 1 4 0 75256K 25408K accept 1 0:00 0.00% python 582 msf 1 76 0 53772K 5580K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 575 msf 1 76 0 53748K 5288K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 588 msf 1 76 0 53588K 5360K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 574 msf 1 76 0 53564K 5060K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 586 msf 1 76 0 52140K 14988K select 0 0:00 0.00% python 601 root 1 4 0 29388K 3944K sbwait 1 0:00 0.00% sshd 604 msf 1 76 0 29364K 3996K select 1 0:00 0.00% sshd 578 msf 1 76 0 29224K 5472K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 576 msf 1 76 0 29216K 5372K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 583 msf 1 76 0 20488K 5224K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 589 msf 1 76 0 20488K 4988K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 579 msf 1 76 0 20484K 5220K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 580 msf 1 81 0 19548K 5284K select 1 0:00 0.00% postgres 584 msf 1 77 0 19536K 5260K select 1 0:00 0.00% postgres 590 msf 1 76 0 19512K 5012K select 1 0:00 0.00% postgres PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 2256 msf 4 20 0 83228K 31876K kserel 1 0:01 0.00% python 2257 msf 1 4 0 56340K 19836K sbwait 1 0:00 0.00% postgres 582 msf 1 76 0 53920K 36916K select 0 0:11 0.00% postgres 575 msf 1 76 0 53748K 3948K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 588 msf 1 76 0 53708K 36704K select 0 0:03 0.00% postgres 574 msf 1 76 0 53564K 3856K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 586 msf 1 76 0 52140K 13912K select 0 0:00 0.00% python 2641 root 1 4 0 29388K 2876K sbwait 1 0:00 0.00% sshd 2644 msf 1 76 0 29364K 2904K select 1 0:00 0.00% sshd 578 msf 1 76 0 29224K 4140K select 0 0:02 0.00% postgres 576 msf 1 76 0 29216K 4048K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 583 msf 1 76 0 20488K 3940K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 589 msf 1 76 0 20488K 3808K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 579 msf 1 76 0 20484K 3896K select 0 0:00 0.00% postgres 580 msf 1 81 0 19548K 3960K select 1 0:00 0.00% postgres 584 msf 1 76 0 19536K 3936K select 1 0:00 0.00% postgres 590 msf 1 76 0 19512K 3828K select 1 0:00 0.00% postgres Robert _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
