FreeBSD Running out of memory

B

Hi guys:

Suppose I have an embedded system running FreeBSD (minimal installation). What happens when the system runs out of memory? (I don't have swap space partition). What I noticed is when I run out of memory daemons die first. (sshd was killed first). What other side effects will there be when the memory runs out?

This is just a hypothetical question.

Thanks
 
One may not be able to execute commands, but still some memory left. (On some systems the port freecolor may free up memory in that case enough to shutdown). Unsure, but in any greater loss of memory probably a forced shutdown after freeze. (Not to be taken as an expert answer though.)
