What is using all the memory?

[Shawn Miller_2]

With HP-UX 11.00 how can I get a list of what processes are using the most amount of memory. It is pretty easy with top and glance to see what is using the most amount of cpu. However, cpu is not an issue and memory is. Any suggestions?

UNIX95= ps -e -o vsz,comm | sort -rn will sort the processes in reverse order of memory "footprint" size. Man ps for details and pay attention to the XPG4 features which is enabled by the "UNIX95= " preceding the ps command.
