Hi Allan, 

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Can you please help me analyze the attached log.

 

Here test_mem_2 to test_mem_15 are copies of test_mem_1. Which is in turn created from test_mem_1.c. I have yet another process test_mem created from test_mem.c.

 

Besides these I have a wifi driver (proprietry), sound driver (shipped with linux 2.6.13) and affix BT stack. I am running all this on a target board running linux 2.6.13.

 

I want to understand the behavior shown by ps command of buzybox. The process's vm area is shown to be gradually shrinking. Any insight will be highly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks and anticipation.

~Abu.
