You do a meminfo check before and after running iptables in order to get
the memory usage of iptables. Fine. But why do you think the memory reqs
are different? Also, how can you be sure that Iptables is "done" when
you have it in the bg when you run the meminfo check the second time?

With all due respect, that's utter nonsense. I'm sure that Linux has
supported 'ps' since before version 1.0, by a sizable margin. I
probably still have a CD from a time before RedHat was a word, to prove
it. 'top' may have come a bit later, but definitely before version 2.0.

Really? Just how did you come to that erroneous conclusion?

ps and top have memory requirements .The busybox that I use doesnt
have ps or top applets compiled into.I know I can compile them into
it.I use the file /proc/meminfo - the very file ps and top use.kill
and top come in the Process utilities sections of busybox that can
very well be compiled to.

And you are implying that's not true for a 2.6 kernel?

None of which answeres the question of how you came to the
conclusion that 2.4 kernels don't support ps and top.
