[plug] Process memory usage

[Christian]

Just a quick question:

neptune:~# ps aux | egrep 'ishopper|PID'
USER       PID %CPU %MEM  SIZE   RSS TTY STAT START   TIME COMMAND
ishopper 26680  0.0  1.1  1136   360   4 S    15:13   0:00 /bin/sh -c
/usr/local
ishopper 26683  0.0  1.2  1136   396   4 S    15:13   0:00 sh
/usr/local/objectn
ishopper 26684  0.1  6.8 19996  2116   4 S    15:13   0:01
/logs/java/bin/../bin

Does this mean that the third process there is using up 20 megabytes of
RAM?

Ok, so I know that is what it means - from the manual page - but it seems
rather odd since the vendor of this program suggests that it should only
require about 4 megabytes of RAM (running under Solaris/NT) so I'm
starting to suspect that this means that the JDK 1.1.7 for Linux (which
I'm using - the application is Java-based) is the culprit... anyone know a
way of cutting down this usage?

On a related matter, does anyone know what the status is for Java 1.2 on
Linux?  Is Sun doing an official port or will the Java-Linux Porting
Project be doing something again? 

Regards,

Christian.
