[mythtv-users] finding leaks

[Daryl McDonald]

I've attempted to use a command found in a recent thread:

daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ valgrind --leak-check=full --error-limit=no
--show-reachable=yes --log-file=/tmp/vg.out     /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend
-v general,playback,libav --loglevel=debug --quiet --logpath=/tmp
valgrind: /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend: No such file or directory

so I made the directory:

daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ cd /usr/local/bin
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:/usr/local/bin$ sudo mkdir mythfrontend

and tried again:

daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ valgrind --leak-check=full --error-limit=no
--show-reachable=yes --log-file=/tmp/vg.out     /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend
-v general,playback,libav --loglevel=debug --quiet --logpath=/tmp
valgrind: /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend: is a directory
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$

At this point said directory is empty, What should I do to get this
working? When the system turned on this morning for a recording the ram
usage was at 1.5Gb and has steadily climbed to 3.3Gb in one hour doing only
one recording. Am I even on the right track?
