Posted by vostorga - 29/01/10 at 11:01:02 am

A long time ago somebody shared me the following script to check memory usage per program.

$ ps aux  | awk '{print $6" "$11,$12,$13,$14}' | 
 egrep -v "0.*\[.*\]" | 
awk '{print $1/1024" MB --> "$2,$3,$4,$5}' | sort -g

Output is the similar to the following:
