not a support questionAt 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
### Usage mem_mon.sh (interval) (occurences) e.g sh mem_mon.sh 2 10 ###
### This will give top 10 memory consuming processes #####
wt_time=$1
lmt=$2
let a=0
while [[ $a -lt $lmt ]] ; do
ps axwv |sort -nrk 7,7|grep -v "COMMAND" \
|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
let a+=1
sleep $wt_time
done
