webfaction memory usage command

Question

I wanted to check the memory usage of my account. I am aware of this command which lists down all the processes running under my account. Though which command will give me the memory usage as well.

ps -u hsparikh -o rss,etime,pid,command

Where hsparikh is the username under which my account is.

Thanks.

You can use the following command to download a memory usage python script:

wget -O ~/bin/memory_usage.py 'http://wiki.webfaction.com/attachment/wiki/MiscellaneousFiles/memory_usage.py?format=raw'; chmod 755 ~/bin/memory_usage.py

Then, simply run it: memory_usage.py (or ~/bin/memory_usage.py) It will show you the total memory usage for all of your processes. Hope that helps!

The RSS value is the memory usage in bytes, the command you have listed will show all the memory per process. If you want a total in MB than you could use this command,

ps -u hsparikh -o rss,command | grep -v peruser | awk '{sum+=$1} END {print sum/1024}'

Thanks. It provides the cumulative total fo all the current process. How can I get the individual process usage?
