[bf1942] Re: Possible memory issue?

[charles "wokka" goldsmith]

Really the only reason I do it is for my server monitoring scripts.
That way I can monitor by a server name, and my scripts require a unique
executable.  Not a big deal actually.

I appreciate the offer!

You didn't show the top portion where it showed that bf1942_lnxded is
using all of your ram.

Most linux/unix boxes will eat up all the ram just sitting idle after a
few hours/days according to top.  This is normal and to be expected.
However, the OS will give up that memory to any processes needing it.
Unfortunately, top under linux does this.  Other unix flavors handle top
differently.

For example, here is a snapshot of my top on FreeBSD box:

last pid: 43892;  load averages:  0.02,  0.06,  0.02

all of my games are idle, and also note, I've renamed the executables so
that I can run more than one instance of each server.

As you can see, bf1942 is using 114M of ram, with 97M reserved...  and
this is the lowest I've seen the cpu when the game was idle.

Specs on my box in case you are interested.  Dual p3-1ghz with 1 gig of
ram.  Running Freebsd 4.7 release
