Memory profiling

Mono

We have had an issue (https://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/openpetraorg/view.php?id=107) where the OpenPetra server crashes after a while, running on Mono, due to growing need for memory and running out of memory eventually.

See this article: http://www.mono-project.com/Performance_Tips#Using_the_Mono_profiler

to get the process id, type

ps -A | grep mono

result:

7220 pts/0    00:00:25 mono

then display the current memory usage:

ps up 7220

result:
