Memory consumption difficut to understand

edited Feb 13, 2012 2:22PM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

Hi,
Following i "prstat -a" output.

PID USERNAME  SIZE   RSS STATE  PRI NICE      TIME  CPU PROCESS/NLWP
  8961 dbora      10G 6548M


I have total 16G RAM installed and total 14G memory is consumed by the processes under user "dbora" which is Oracle software owner on this system and a lot of sessions(processes) run under this user. I actually want to list all the processes running under this user with the memory/virtual memory consumed by each of this process to find out which process is the biggest memory eater. Is there any command which can give me this output. I would be interested in "private" memory consumption of this process more than shared memory consumption by the processes.

Howdy, Stranger!
