I don't know what a buffer break is.

If you identify the process and use gpm, the graphical version of glance, you can get lots of information on the process.

Are you using glance(text) or gpm?

This will show you the top 30 memory processess:

UNIX95= ps -e -o 'vsz pid ruser args' |sort -nr|head -30

This one shows you by user:

# cat usermem

#!/bin/ksh
# usermem - display memory claimed by a user
#
if [ $# -lt 1 -o $ $# -gt 1 -a $# -lt 4 $ ]
then
echo "Usage:"
echo "usermem \"userid\""
echo "Example:"
echo "usermem gwild"
exit 1
fi
echo " "

USER=$1
t=0
for j in `UNIX95= ps -e -o vsz=Kbytes -o ruser -o pid,args=Command-Line | sort -rnk1 | grep -v Kbytes | grep $USER | awk '{print $1}'`
do
t=`expr $t + $j`
done
echo "\nMemory claimed by $USER: $t Kbytes.\n"

Jorge,
from a previous thread:
vmstat -n 1 10
top (RES is resident size in Kb)

But glance seems to be the real solution

HPUX Kmem is a good tool for this purpose .

It was available on the old ITRC website . .
