i tried pmap `pgrep apache2` |grep total on ubuntu 10.4 running Apache and the o/p was like this:

total 47768K

total 48048K

total 48048K

total 48048K

total 48048K

total 48048K

does this means that each child process is taking 48 MB of RAM.Can you help me in finding the exact memory usage of each process.Expecting a reply
