Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How can I obtain the consumed memory of a process? Post 302393755 by EAGL€ on Tuesday 9th of February 2010 01:37:02 PM

I assume you know which process to check and lets say the process is run by root user:

Code:
prstat -u root -a -s size

will show processes ordered by Size descending way. If you know which process id to check you can print only one process too with PID, first column of prstat command:

Code:
prstat -u root -a -s size | nawk '$1~/855/'

NAME
topsysproc - top syscalls by process name. Uses DTrace. SYNOPSIS
topsysproc [-Cs] [interval [count]] DESCRIPTION
This program continually prints a report of the number of system calls by process name, and refreshes the display every 1 second or as specified at the command line. Similar data can be fetched with "prstat -m". Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command. OPTIONS

There may be several PIDs with the same process name. DOCUMENTATION
See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver- bose descriptions explaining the output. EXIT
