memeory usage of a process

[Amith_2]

Hello,

I need to find out the memory usage of a background process in HP-11 server. Could you please tell me a method to find the memory usage of a process.

Regards
Amith

HI Amhit,

If you would like a quick list of your memory usage, you could use

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

Best regards,

Hello Robert,

The output of the command mentioned by you is

amith 692 7193 /vol1/216-569a/bmpc/bin/dmctl.native

where dmctl.native is my process and 7193 is the process id.
Whereas below mentioned is the same process started by another user
meenam 1052 23113 /lantst/testing/720-720a/bmpc/bin/dmctl.native
where process id is 23113.
In this which is the memory usage of the process and why the difference in the two cases.

Hi Amith,

You can use this command as well,

UNIX95=1 ps -ef -o vsz= -o pid= -o comm= |sort -rnk1 | awk 'BEGIN{printf "Memory PID Process\n";}{ printf "%-3.2f MB %-5d %-15s\n",$1/1024,$2,$3; }'

Have you tried with glance?
It can track memory usage for a process in particular.

I am able to get the memory statistics of a process from the glance.

What i need is to specify my client what is the memory usage of a process. This is for him to configure the program based on his RAM features. So how can i find that.

Will the TSS/RSS value be the total memory usage of the program.
