top command

Hi,

The value from the 'SIZE' column is lower than 'RES' column, but the 'SIZE' column is total process memory and 'RES' is residential memory so it should be lower than 'SIZE' column.

Thanks

That's correct. Do you have a specific output that contradicts this? What is the process? (Attach output)

Hi,

Following is one of the process.

TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU %CPU COMMAND
? 17938 proadm 152 20 6172K 9100K
run 5:44 0.98 0.98 java

Thanks

See if it's a bug in top. Use the following command to show the same output with ps: -

UNIX95= ps -e -o pid -o ruser -o vsz -o sz

Or verify with Glance if you have it.

top(1) command is showing, the resident size of the process as, more than actual size of the process.

11.11 PHCO_29072
11.00 PHCO_26020

Best regards...

Please detail what is the command UNIX95= ps -e -o pid -o ruser -o vsz -o sz.

Thanks
