Hello,

what is the best way to see the processes and their memory usage so i get processes which using most RAM on the Linux server?

so far i found:

1)

top -c

and lookup VIRT column, it should give approximate usage in memory.

2)

ps aux --sort -rss

use ps and sort processes according to memory usage?

3)

pmap -x <process pid>

4)

cat /proc/<process pid>/status | grep Size
