Full Discussion: Process consuming most memory
Operating Systems AIX Process consuming most memory Post 302262114 by zaxxon on Wednesday 26th of November 2008 11:06:22 AM

You could use this for a top ten:
Code:
ps aux| sort -n -k 4,4| head

But it I guess it is inaccurate for AIX as for Linux. Read here why:
Virtual Threads: Understanding memory usage on Linux

Also this should show something similar as the "ps aux":
Code:
svmon -P| grep -p Pid| grep -vE "^$|-----|Pid"| head

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
