Measuring Memory leaks

  • Run the top command (to run non-interactively, type top -b -n 1). To see applications which are leaking memory, look at the following columns:
    • RPRVT - resident private address space size
    • RSHRD - resident shared address space size
    • RSIZE - resident memory size
    • VPRVT - private address space size
    • VSIZE - total memory size
