Swap: 4192956k total, 25824k used, 4167132k free, 12029400k cached

How can i sum the size of memory in use by USER.

Thanks

Hello,

Try this command:
Code:
ps aux | awk '$1 == "reddybs" {sum +=$4}; END {print sum}'

reddybs is the user name.

OR

When you execute top command, press u and then type the username.
This will give you top processes owned by the user.

Cheers,
Sai
