Top 5 Memory Consuming Processes in Linux
Hi, Some times we need to know the most memory consuming process. In Linux you can do this with the help of following command. [root@server2~]#ps axo %mem,command,pid | sort -nr | head -n 5 24.2 /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_24/bin/j 2223 9.4 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir= 2855 1.9 /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_24/bin/j 2065 0.8 /usr/libexec/gdmgreeter 3847 0.2 /usr/libexec/gdm-rh-securit 3798 Here option "axo" allow us to see Every Process in User-Defined format. !!Enjoy Linux Kuldeep
