I have had a problem on our Redhat Version 3 servers for a while now and i
have been unable to find out what the issue is. Basically when we  reboot
our servers, within two weeks the memory used on the servers is 3.2gig so
we only have 350 mega bytes of memory left and it is still decreasing by
the day. I cannot see any processes that are causing this issue. Below is
what i get with the top command, How do i identify the problem, has anyone
seen this before and how was it resolved without rebooting the machines
every 3 -4 weeks.

163 processes: 162 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped

Any help would be much appreciated.
