Please help with Top and SIZE of process
Hi, what I want to do is get the SIZE of a particular process from top into a shell script so I can put it in a while loop. I want to display a warning message when the process size gets up to a certain amount, but I don't know how to get that one line spit out from Top and thrown into my shell script. I tried ps -ey but it says it doesn't support the "y". I tried ps -el but the SZ I get back does not match what the TOP command says for SIZE.
Can anybody help? Thanks so much
Amy

When I run the top command, it shows 1 process as being Stopped. This is not a zombie, but simply a stopped process. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to tell which process this is, nor why it is in a stopped state? Any way of finding this out? (7 Replies)
