Hi Edwin,

You don't need Glance to see it. You can use the command

UNIX95= ps -e -o 'vsz pid ruser args' |sort -n |tail -1


to get that information. Look at 'man ps' for more information on vsz. The space between = and ps is required.

You can easily find this out from GlancePlus (gpm or glance). Drill down towards memory reports, and you can even get information about individual processes resource usage.

Also use commands like ps, vmstat, sar and top to find resource usage:

# UNIX95= ps -e -o 'vsz pid ruser args'

Or
UNIX95= ps -e -o ruser,pid,vsz=Kbytes |sort -nrk3

Will give you a list in descending order by memory usage.
