In solaris, I will do a prstat -avm, in linus, I will do a top, in AIX, i dunno.
I will look for the largest resident size (memory used).

E.g. Try sending out a large mail from unix, you will see the /tmp is used when the physical memory is used up. The resident memory will increase steadily at the same time under the sendmail process.
Kill the sendmail process, /tmp will be back to 0%.
