Too many died processesss... help pls.. :-(
Hello guys, I'm facing a problem.I'm with VPS with 512MB ram guranteed, and have an Invision Power Board 2.0.3 running on the space. When there are ONLY 50 online users withn 20 minutes, my memory usage is 420MB!!! Which is extreamly too high!!
But when I type 'ps -aux', and got the following report, it seems that there are a lot of 'died' processes created and taking memory usage (look at the 'START' column):
Code:
