I type 'top' in solaris and see many processes running:

PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND

20473 oratst     1   0    0   30M 9232K sleep    0:00  0.17% oracle

Should I be worried about what 190M is as a size, given that there are several hundred of these processes - it sounds like a lot of memory being used - how can I change this? Received on Fri Nov 17 2000 - 05:28:23 CST
