[OpenSIPS-Users] Process List Question

[geoffreymina at gmail.com]

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Looking at the output of my ps -ax, each  
process appears to have been allocated 2048M of memory. I was trying to  
start OpenSIPS with 2048M of memory allocated to the shared pool using  
the "-m 2048" startup flag. Did I accomplish this, or did I actually  
allocate 2048 x process threads?
