************************************************
If you have Glance, check if you have this file
file=/opt/perf/examples/adviser/proc_mem_leak
If you do, try running
glance -adviser_only -syntax $file -j60 | tee glance.out
This will display information about potential memory hog processes every 60 seconds. Read $file for further info.

In glance there is a ? in the top right hand part of the window. Click on it, and then your cursor/mount pointer changes, point now to the VSS item (or whatever else you want to find out about) and click and the glance help will startup and tell you exactly what it means! very handy.

Hi


You can list processes in Virtual Set Size order with the following simple script:-

UNIX95= ps -e -o ruser,vsz,pid,args | sort -rnk2 | more

(Attributable to Bill Hassell). Note the space after = is required. The second field output is the process virtual set size in Mb and the output is sorted in descending order of process size.
