You can get a buttload of good info on a particular process from its Process ID number. Eg, for PID 18053 cat /proc/18053/status Name: ekiga State: S (sleeping) SleepAVG: 97% Tgid: 18053 Pid: 18053 PPid: 3249 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 500 500 500 500 Gid: 500 500 500 500 FDSize: 256 Groups: 14 500 VmPeak: 118920 kB VmSize: 118432 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmHWM: 23592 kB VmRSS: 23292 kB VmData: 18504 kB VmStk: 84 kB VmExe: 900 kB VmLib: 35996 kB VmPTE: 220 kB StaBrk: 081a2000 kB Brk: 09571000 kB StaStk: bfe32e20 kB Threads: 10 SigQ: 0/20329 SigPnd: 0000000000000000 ShdPnd: 0000000000000000 SigBlk: 0000000000000000 SigIgn: 0000000000000000 SigCgt: 000000018c005ef3 CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 0000000000000000 CapEff: 0000000000000000 Cpus_allowed: ffffffff Mems_allowed: 1 For all these though, understand that shared libs get counted for every process, exploding the total figures given for all processes compared to actual global memory usage.
Hi Thanks for the reply. It helps a lot. Is there a way to remove references to the shared libs? Actually as an additional point wouldn't we need to include the shared libs in the memory calculation as they are being used by the process, or is my understanding lacking? Thanks Dan
