Hi there -- I ran a memtest86+ scan on the box, and there were no errors reported by application. At this point it would appear there is a resource hog that is causing this issue. What utility can I use to track the usage of the various programs on the system. The top utility comes to mind, but what options would I use including the ability to output the results to a file? -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adam Hough Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 10:34 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: Memory staying in cached status -- Possible Memory Leak Have you ran a memtest86+ on the box?
