Swap space

Generally, it will look like your swap space is not freeing, but actually the space is just cached memory that it might use again later.

How much space space do you have allocated and how much physical memory do you have?

You might need to add some more swap space if you don't have enough physical memory and you run too many processes that take up too much memory.

It is also possible that some application that you are running has a memory leak and this is causing your memory to be used to it's capasity.

Let me know and good luck.

mem 128
swap 256

The application is zip.  But it exit after few minuts.
I run it in a raw, when one zip finish the other start

next time it starts to go up, use ps -aux to check what the memory usage of each program is and see which one is taking the most memory, you might also try using 'top' to keep an eye on your system as you are working. When you find out which program it is donig it, then you probably need to update it, download the source code and recompile it and install it again. That should probably fix any memory leak problems. If that doesn't fix it, it could be in your libc or zlib .. or even a bad kernel somehow (though I think unlikely) .. It's going to take a little troubleshooting on your side.

I'm using top and i know it the zip !
the point is when the 1st zip finish the swap space usege don't change. Them new (2nd) zip starting and so on.
until there is no free swap space.
My cron jon running abut 20 zip in a raw.

I guess that means it worked out for you. :)

I will try it soon
