| |
Dear list,
I am constantly running a process creating child processes, running them for a while, then terminating, restarting and so on... The process restarted over and over again is the same (same executable) the launching process doesn't stop. Running this for a while (or increasing the number of "launchers" but keeping the launched process the same all the time lets the buffers/cache constantly grow up to the point where all memory is taken and the machine starts swapping...
Q:Is there any way to limit the cache/buffe usage? And, if yes, how?
Thanks for the help,
Immanuel
