    Operating system is RedHat Enterprise Linux 3
    Cadence and Synopsys application is running in this mechine.
     
    the system is using lot of physical memory and its not releasing the memory after completion of the job
     
    system not accepting any new job and its going to hanging posistion
     
    Its need to manualy restart the mechine
     
    here i give the #top and #vmstat command output
