My LAMP application seems to eventually use up all of my server's memory and swap space. My gut feeling is that it has something to do with the external processes I have to call (as that is the only time the problem manifests).I need to call GhostScript, ImageMagick's "convert", PDFTK, etc. constantly. When those processes are running, that's when I see my memory running out. So, questions:[*]Which techniques should I use to conclusively identify which process is actually causing the memory problems? My plan right now is to run the processes individually and just observe the memory usage via the *nix command "top". Is there a way I can do this programatically?[*]Is there any "memory flushing" solutions I can use? Would this be a good idea to do?
