As promised, here is the chart of a Linux Ubuntu server 24 hours or so after turning off swap (it is still off).
As mentioned, on this server there is plenty of memory (for the applications) so there is zero issue having swap turned off:
I can continue this for a few of my "busy servers", some very busy, but all have plenty of RAM, so all will perform just fine with swap turned off (since they do not really use any swap with it turned on).
Anyway, I don't want to beat this dead horse any longer...
Computer RAM is cheap.... if your system is swapping, buy more RAM.
Hi,
Does any one know what tool to use to visualize how is memory layed out for C on linux systems. I mean how much stack portion is used in functional call.
Where exactly does the argument to function sit in memory ?

Hi ,
As I am new to Linux server, I am facing some doubts like: On linux server virtual memory usage goes to 99%, but I have Threshold limit of 95%. So it crossed the threshold limit and alarmd.

glib::flags
Glib::Flags(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Glib::Flags(3)NAME
Glib::Flags
DESCRIPTION
Glib maps flag and enum values to the nicknames strings provided by the underlying C libraries. Representing flags this way in Perl is an
interesting problem, which Glib solves by using some cool overloaded operators.
The functions described here actually do the work of those overloaded operators. See the description of the flags operators in the "This
Is Now That" section of Glib for more info.
HIERARCHY
Glib::Flags
METHODS
scalar = $class->new ($a)
o $a (scalar)
Create a new flags object with given bits. This is for use from a subclass, it's not possible to create a "Glib::Flags" object as such.
For example,
my $f1 = Glib::ParamFlags->new ('readable');
my $f2 = Glib::ParamFlags->new (['readable','writable']);
An object like this can then be used with the overloaded operators.
scalar = $a->all ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
ref = $a->as_arrayref
integer = $a->bool ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
integer = $a->eq ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
integer = $a->ge ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->intersect ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
integer = $a->ne ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->sub ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->union ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->xor ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
