ps axo rss,pid,command or pipe it to | sort -g to have it sorted you can mix n match the output coz i made it to a resident set size, but you can also look at virtual sizes as well as shared memory sizes. i'm sure man ps would be more than helpful or if top's data is sufficient then you can do a... top n 1 b which gives you the physical memory used as well as the shared mem. -- Deds Castillo Infiniteinfo Philippines Hiroshima '45, Chernobyl '86, Windows 95/98/2K _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
