LuckyShim Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) I'm using the "free -m" command to check my RAM usage on my VPS. I was wondering how I should be interpreting my output. Which numbers should I be looking at to determine if I can run another bot on my VPS or not? I'm mostly confused with the difference between the first line (that starts with "Mem:") and the second line (that starts with "-/+ buffers/cache") as well as what buffers and cache are. Do I have 591 MB of free RAM? or 938 MB of free RAM? Thanks in advanced for your help. Edited May 18, 2015 by LuckyShim
OurSickStory Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) You have 591 free. (unused) the +/- is a buffer, (not a "constant" amount used. eg; osbot can vary from 130-160 etc, its a buffer space) the 591 IS 100% free. Edited May 19, 2015 by OurSickStory 1

Pretty unfortunate that I can only run 2 bots on 2GB of RAM -_-
OurSickStory Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Nope, that's about average bud 2gigs is so small in todays world. It's like the 512mb slots of the 2000's. Its minimal at best Operating systems take 2gigs min if not more now days
