I'd like to run a very simple bot written in java on my VPS. I want to limit jvm memory to let's say 10MB (I doubt it would need any more).
I'm running the bot with the following command:
java -Xms5M -Xmx10M -server -jar IrcBot.jar "/home/jbot"
But top shows that actual memory reserved for java is 144m (or am I interpreting things wrong here?).
13614 jbot 17 0 144m 16m 6740 S 0.0 3.2 0:00.20 java
Any ideas what can be wrong here?
Java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)
BTW. I'm running CentOS - if it matters.
EDIT: Thank you for your answers.
I can't really accept any of them, since it turns out the problem lies within the language i choose to write the program, not the JVM itself.
