how to monitor the memory!

[leyearn]

how to find the processes which use the memory most?

thanks

You can use:
ps -alf | sort -rnk 10 | more

The proces that is using the most is at the top of the list.

Hi,

You can try with
top
command

[Elmar P. Kolkman]

Or, if installed, try glance...
Mind that you see the virtual size from ps. Shared text segments will show up for every instance of the executable, for instance.

Leyearn,

Another system performance product is SOS now called MetaView form Lund Performance Solutions.
Give you a look at memory, disk, cpu, and network. Real similiar to Glance...

#!/bin/sh
# memtop - show top memory users and pid
# VSZ is in KB
echo "VSZ(KB) PID RUSER COMMAND"
UNIX95= ps -e -o 'vsz pid ruser args' |sort -nr|head -30


Change the head to how many you want to see.....
