Top Memory processes 1

[mohmin]

Guys,
Could you pl help me with commands to find the processes or applications using large memories.

I am using AIX 5L.


Thank you.
Mohmin.

The top command should show you stuff..

svmon -Put 10" will show the top 10 memory using processes on the system.

And ProbablyDown meant "topas" not "top".

Hey Hirschaj,
In Svmon -Put 10 output where do i see the memory being used by the process. I beleive it is the "Inuse" column.
If yes what are the units, are they MB?
Also please explain me "Pin" and "Pgsp" and "Virtual" in the same output.
thanks,
Mohmin.
