Physical Memory Control Using the Resource Capping Daemon

This is a new feature in the Solaris 9 12/03 release.

The resource capping daemon rcapd regulates the consumption of physical memory by processes that run in projects that have defined resource caps. Associated utilities provide mechanisms for administering the daemon and reporting related statistics.

For additional information, see Chapter 4, Solaris 9 Resource Manager Topics, in System Administration Guide: Resource Management and Network Services. See also the man pages rcapstat(1), rcapadm(1M), project(4), and rcapd(1M).
