Hi Daniel,
If you define "it happens" as "apache using all my RAM and killing
my VPS" then yes I can imagine that is how it goes. However you
could add some monitoring to tell you when it's getting like that.
You could also set a ulimit on the amount of virtual memory that
apache can have, so it would just kill apache.
You don't *have* to wait until it kills the entire VPS to tell when
something is amiss. :)
Having said that, I'm not sure how well I would be able to
understand the smaps file. Others might be able to do it better
though.
Cheers,
Andy
