At times, you wish to find the processes with maximum memory consumption. This can be easily done using following command. Copy contents in file and run it like as vmstat command

<br />
### Usage mem_mon.sh (interval) (occurences) e.g sh mem_mon.sh 2 10 ###<br />
### This will give top 10 memory consuming processes #####<br />
wt_time=$1<br />
lmt=$2<br />
let a=0<br />
while <a href="/?page=a_lt_lmt" class="bbcode_wiki">$a -lt $lmt</a> ; do<br />
ps axwv |sort -nrk 7,7|grep -v "COMMAND" <br />
|awk 'BEGIN {printf ("MemoryinKb t ProcessId t PerCPU t PerMem t Command n")}{t=t+$7 - $10 ;printf("%13d t %10d t %6.2f t %6.2f t %s n",$7 - $10,$1,$11,$12,$13)}END{print t}'|head -10<br />
let      a+=1<br />
sleep $wt_time<br />
done<br />
