AIX Memory used by an Application
Hi,
Is there any way to find the Memory allocated to an Application in AIX server

Yes fortunately there is: according to the man page of ps, which i suggest you should read for further information, especially the part about the "-o" option and its many arguments:

Code:
ps -Alo pid,args,vsz

will display the process ID, the complete command including arguments and the amount of allocated virtual memory for every process in kilobytes.

I hope this helps.

There is another way and that is to use the command ps aux. Notice the - is missing before the aux, this is deliberate. I believe it is the 2nd or 3rd column shows the memory used by the application.
