Hi.
This might be a strange request, but does anyone have any idea on a simple shell script that would use more and more memory as it ran? Like a purposeful leak.
I want to test the behaviour of an already running program when the machine runs out of memory.
Thanks! (4 Replies)

sync
sync(2) System Calls sync(2)
NAME
sync - update super block
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
void sync(void);
DESCRIPTION
The sync() function writes all information in memory that should be on disk, including modified super blocks, modified inodes, and delayed
block I/O.
Unlike fsync(3C), which completes the writing before it returns, sync() schedules but does not necessarily complete the writing before
returning.
USAGE
The sync() function should be used by applications that examine a file system, such as fsck(1M), and df(1M), and is mandatory before
rebooting.
