Full Discussion: per-process swap usage?
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users per-process swap usage? Post 302231544 by bukzor on Tuesday 2nd of September 2008 02:49:04 PM

As an aside, the 'ps' manpage documents the 'v' option as giving a virtual memory format, but doesn't document the fields presented. Can anyone tell me what these things mean? MAJFL is the major page fault count, I believe, and RSS is the "resident set size" meaning physical memory used, but what is "DRS"?

$ps v
PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND
22511 pts/2 Ss 0:00 0 319 17576 3080 0.0 -tcsh
27192 pts/2 R+ 0:00 0 74 8261 728 0.0 ps v



In the meantime, I've tried using the "size" output from ps, since it seems most accurate (see original post), but I've hit a snag in that the number is many times too large for a couple types of processes (wine-preloader and java).

Examples:
Code:
wine-preloader(21951):
        PS:     rss:484.0       vsize:2367920.0 size:2345200.0  sz:591980.0
        TOP:    rss:480.0       vsize:872.0     share:476.0
wine-preloader(6990):
        PS:     rss:1300.0      vsize:2367924.0 size:2345204.0  sz:591981.0
        TOP:    rss:1292.0      vsize:1292.0    share:888.0
wine-preloader(24682):
        PS:     rss:452.0       vsize:2367912.0 size:2345192.0  sz:591978.0
        TOP:    rss:448.0       vsize:832.0     share:444.0

java(24885):
        PS:     rss:636.0       vsize:680912.0  size:634740.0   sz:170228.0
        TOP:    rss:620.0       vsize:10088.0   share:388.0
java(19015):
        PS:     rss:42336.0     vsize:1253548.0 size:1197556.0  sz:313387.0
        TOP:    rss:41984.0     vsize:42324.0   share:14836.0

SYSMON(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 SYSMON(8)

NAME
sysmon, stats - display graphs of system activity SYNOPSIS
sysmon [ machine [ -option ] ] stats [ -option ] DESCRIPTION
Sysmon displays a rolling graph of various statistics collected by the operating system. The statistics may be from a remote machine. A sample value is taken once per second. The number in the top left corner of the graph gives the peak value for the duration of the graph. Lines across the graph represent 75%, 50%, and 25% of the peak value. Clicking a mouse button anywhere in the window cycles through the list of parameters to monitor; an option letter sets the initial choice. The option letters and parameters are: [m] mem total pages of active memory. The memory is displayed as a fraction of the machine's total memory. [e] ether number of packets sent and received per second. [w] swap number of valid pages on the swap device. The swap is displayed as a fraction of the number of swap pages configured by the machine. [c] contxt number of process context switches per second. [i] intr number of interrupts per second. [f] fault number of memory faults per second. [t] tlbmiss number of translation look-aside buffer misses per second. [p] tlbpurge number of translation lookaside buffer flushes per second. [l] load system load average. The load is computed as a running average of the number of processes ready to run multiplied by 1000 to give some precision. The stats program is invoked by sysmon to display the graph. FILES
