What is top (see below) telling me?
This is a SLES 9 box running just apache2 and PHP4 and Mysql (small
little database to service the web site).
If I understand this correctly, there is only about 260 mb of memory "free".
Does this mean ... only that much ram is available for new processes?
Or, is there some "idle" process that has all of this ram?
I'm trying to trouble-shoot why a symantec backup exec agent seems to
be spontaneously unloading, and I'm now wondering if it might be a ram
shortage?
