Unreleased memory

[Pacifica]

I had a user run a c++ program on a machine with Solaris9.

They allocated a lot of memory but didn't release the memory before the program stopped.

Is there a way to find unreleased memory? And then once found, is there a way to release it?

no way and no sense to do that,
look for a paper (some thing like) 'i loose my memory'
on the sun's sides.
i have it on my busines syatem -----------
when they don't ask you anymore, where they are come from, and they don't tell you anymore, where they go ... you'r getting older !

Hi Pacifica,
if program allocates shared memory you can see that and release. See command ipcs and ipcrm.
