Title: [Solved] Memory Usage
Post by: nassausky on October 31, 2013, 03:20:09 PM

Is there command line arguments for 'ps' which gives memory usage for each process and maybe a way I can sort it by size.   I was running another remaster with customizing the extract folder and it crashed while running advdef.  They say this process takes a considerable amount of RAM so my first step was to see what process(es) are taking the most of amount of memory that I can kill while running the remaster.

I found ps -o comm,vsz which looks like the process name and size (sadly unsorted) and it shows Xvesa taking 27m.    Can I get more details about the memory usage of it's subprocesses and kill them down?
