Re: top ten processes

Hi:

You could use 'top' and run it for one-cycle:

# top -d 1

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I just wanted to know the command which gives the o/p of processes which is consuming more memory from ascending order.

Re: top ten processes

Hi:

If you prefer, then:

# UNIX95= ps -e -ovsz= -opid= -ocomm= | sort -knr1,1 | head -10

There is nothing but whitespace after the 'UNIX95=' and before the 'ps'. This keeps UNIX95 behavior set only for the commandline. To do otherwise may lead to different behavior than you want. The '-o' option selects the fields to display and the trailing '=' suppresses the field headers. The sort orders the process list in descending virtual memory size.

For the CPU usage, you could look at the cumulative execution time':

# UNIX95= ps -e -otime= -opid= -ocomm= | sort -kr1,1 | head -10

Regards!
