Command to find TOP 5 Memory consuming process
HI All,
Can anyone send me a command to find TOP 5 Memory consuming process.
It would be lelpful if I get output something like below
processname - pid - memory(in MB) - command
I tried few commands from the internet but the result only give the real memory usage or pagging, I want total memory usage of the process.
I also tried using topas and vmon but the result seems to be inaccurate.
Thanks

NAME
pstack - print a stack trace for each LWP in each process and core file
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
prints a stack trace (hex+symbolic) for each LWP (Lightweight Process) in each process and core file.
Given the pid of a running process or the full path of a core file, prints the stack trace for each LWP thread in the process. To obtain
symbol information, searches load modules (executable and shared libraries) in the current directory, and You can specify the executable
path with the pid/corepath, separated by a colon character. If cannot find a load module, symbol information for frames in that module is
not displayed.
works by attaching to the running process and reading its registers, memory, and stack. Mismatch between executable and corefile may
result in unpredictable behavior.
Options
supports the following option:
Prints the usage menu.
Operand
supports the following operand:
pid identifies a running process, with an optional execpath, the full executable path.
corepath is the full path name of the specified executable.
RETURN VALUES

Successful completion.
