playermatt rated 5 weeks ago- For noobs. Useless to anyone else. Edit: Still lots of noobs out there, so I'll give it a thumbs up.

- The site advertices itself as one of those "10 linux shell tricks you don't already know" and while most sites claiming that repeat the same old tricks, this one actually had some stuff I did not know yet - so check it out, there might be a trick or two that are new to you too!

- From the page: "3. Catch Memory Leaks By Using Top via Cron Memory apps are rare in Linux, but they do happen, particularly when using beta distros or home grown software. A lot of time the identitty of the app with a memory leak isnâ€t that apparent. Linux has an Out-Of-Memory app built in to identify and kill these apps, but by the time it eventually kicks on your system may have been unusually slow for a while â€" and thatâ€s if your patience hasnâ€t already worn thin and youâ€ve rebooted. The normal way to find an apps memory consumption is by running top (or one of itâ€s graphical equivalents, like System Monitor) and check the Resident Set Size (called Res or RSS) of the processes you care about (you can ignore figures for how much memory the app has allocated â€" memory leaks come from usage, not allocation, and apps can assign bucketloads of memory they donâ€t use without hurting your system). Most people arenâ€t aware top can be run non-interactively, which means you can use cron and top to generate a simple report of an apps usage over time. * Run top. * Use the < and > keys until processes are sorted by RES (resident memory usage). * Hit W to write your config out to a file * Add a cron job: crontab - <<< â€*/15 * * * * top -n 1 -b†Youâ€ll now get an email every 15 minutes with the top output."

- The relief! None of those obvious-as-breathing tips - even though about half of them sounds familiar.
