malloc gives the same memory to two different nodes. How to deal with it?

When allocating memory for two different nodes, the resulting memory are the same. Clearly, this will lead to a mistake. This happened in a function. And the process must be in a function. (gdb) p tree->list $43 = (node *) 0x8be4180 (gdb) p tree->list $44 = (node *) 0x8be4180 At the...

Memory usage in Solaris - memory not freed?

Hi, I'm running a multi-process software system on a Solaris 8 machine. When I monitor the memory usage, I see that the free memory is dropping rapidly, but I can't detect a process that uses this memory. I'm using "top" to get the free memory and the memory usage of processes. Thanks.

IVMAN-LAUNCH(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   IVMAN-LAUNCH(8)

NAME

       ivman-launch - launch script for Ivman

SYNOPSIS

       ivman-launch [ --exit-with-session <cmd> ] [ OPTIONS ] [ COMMAND [ ARGS... ]]

DESCRIPTION

       ivman-launch  is a simple script used to launch Ivman.  Its sole purpose is to ensure Ivman is closed at the end of a user's login session.
       You can use it if your session manager does not properly close Ivman when you log out.

       ivman-launch supports the same command-line options as Ivman, and one additional option: --exit-with-session.   Thus,  there  is  no  point
       using ivman-launch if you do not need to use this option.

       If  you supply a COMMAND (with optional ARGS), the the specified command will be run after ivman is started, and ivman will be killed after
       that command exits.

OPTIONS

       --exit-with-session <cmd>
	      ivman-launch will block until the command 'cmd' terminates, at which point it will kill Ivman and exit itself.  If the command 'cmd'
	      is  not  running when ivman-launch is started, Ivman will exit immediately.  Note that this option implies Ivman will be called with
	      the '--nofork' option.  option.

       --debug --nofork --system
	      These flags be passed to the launched ivman command.

EXAMPLES

       ivman-launch --exit-with-session xinit &
	      The ivman process will be started, then the xinit process is watched.  When the xinit process exits, ivman is killed.  Placing  this
	      command  in  an  ~/.xinitrc  file would cause Ivman to launch in the background when your session begins, and exit when your session
	      ends:

       ivman-launch /usr/bin/x-window-manager
	      The ivman process is launched, then /usr/bin/x-window-manager is run, when x-window-manager exits, ivman	is  killed.   This  is	an
	      example of how ivman might be launched from Xsession in order to chain several programs together in one session.
