Server was re-started yesterday and there was little use after restart.
server is idle. Task Manager shows now

PF Usage 1.22 GB

Physical Memory (K)
Total 4191872
Avail 348xxxx (last 4 vary)
System cache 35676xx (last 2 vary)

How to check for memory increase over week ?

Task Manager shows only image name.
Where I should see this ?

I ran it from pgadmin. It shows now :

11874;"postgres";212;10;"postgres";"";"127.0.0.1";1183;"2011-01-22
21:24:51.343+02";"";"2011-01-22 21:24:51.5+02";f;"<IDLE>"
45923;"mydb";3080;10;"postgres";"";"127.0.0.1";1184;"2011-01-22

I will try to run it on next crash if users will not restart server before.

I ran it from pgadmin. It shows now :

"relation";45923;10985;;;"";;;;;"4/241";4732;"AccessShareLock";t
"virtualxid";;;;;"4/241";;;;;"4/241";4732;"ExclusiveLock";t

I will try to run it on next crash if users will not restart server before.

Users can restart server without contacting me. For this reason I
asked for automated dump.
