Hi,

Again I have this curiosity:
Running ps axu on my sr10.3 system gives (some of it):
USER       PID   SZ  RSS TTY     STAT  TIME COMMAND
root       100  512  136 ?       R    17:44 /etc/tcpd -c
root       105  512   64 ?       S     0:13 /etc/syslogd
root       108  512   68 ?       S     1:16 /etc/routed -f
root       124  256    0 ?       S     0:00 /etc/ncs/llbd

root       144  768  224 ?       S <   3:54 /etc/Xapollo -K /usr/X11/lib/keyboard/keyboard.config -D1 s+r-

wjw       8297  512  236 ttyp0   R     0:00 ps -axu

Whilest running it on sr10.2 gives:
USER       PID   SZ  RSS TTY     STAT  TIME COMMAND

kruytzer 14661  672  119 remote  S     0:02 [ csh ]
(Note: that this is a 'ps axu //remote_node')

The problem is the size of every process. All processes on sr10.3 are
significantly smaller. Since this is a trent which goes upstream, I wonder
if sr10.3 has started using a different way of measuring process sizes.
Very few processes ever get really big. I had a dde session of a fairly large
program, and it claimed to be 1.5Mb, which is really peanuts when compared
to the >12Mb it takes on sr10.2 :-)

If that's the case, how do I find out what the virt. mem. size of a process
really is on sr10.3?
If the sizes are really correct, well done!

Could anybody (from Hapollo) shed some light on this?

Thanx,
	Willem Jan Withagen.

PS: I've got several replies to my ELM question:
    It's simple:
	You just get it by ftp (anywhere near you)
	Run Configure and answer most questions default.
	Make and Install it.
	Use it. :-)
    Note that you may want to get Patchlevel 11, since supposedly there are
    some Apollo specifics in this patch. (I'm now runnning PL8 just fine.)
