 As many/most of you should know, the Linux/UNIX ps command is

 used by the X server, nor sharing among processes that use the same
 shared library.
 
 Attached is a note from Tridge, pointing to a script that does a much
 better job accounting to real usage.
 
 Note that the Linux kernel has recently started doing a better job
 accounting for memory usage as well (after 2.6.23-rc8-mm1).

Cool. I'm the author of that script.
If you have any changes you would like just yell.

After talkling with tridge I did a bit of sleuthing and found this one:

Somehow google sniffed my perlish soul and gave me a first hit that
stroked it... looking at the python one, it looks more user-oriented
(better!) than smaps.pl.

cheers,
