[OpenSIPS-Users] Memory leak issue?

[Liviu Chircu]

Hi Chen-Che,

It is best to start off with a quick tutorial. Here you can learn how 
the Linux kernel manages your RAM (~ 2 minutes): [1]

I've inspected your OpenSIPS memory maps, and they both look OK. For the 
record, OpenSIPS will _never_ use more RAM than you give it at startup:
     total opensips memory = ("-m" * 1) + ("-M" * children) + 
extra_library_allocations

Conclusions:
     * if OpenSIPS should run out of memory because of a leak, it would 
_stop_ working. However, your system would still be fine
     * to inspect system memory, use "free -m", not "top"
