Hi there,

I would like to look at what programs are utilizing what memory.

:~$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 768 745 22 0 5 265
-/+ buffers/cache: 474 293
Swap: 1535 165 1370

currently I see that I am riding my memory almost 100% utilized. I want
to know what program is using that memory and how it is allocated. how
can I do that?

Cheers,
Noah

Try memstat (universe repository):

Description: Identify what's using up virtual memory
Lists all the processes, executables, and shared libraries
that are using up virtual memory. It's helpful to see how the
shared memory is used and which 'old' libs are loaded.

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/memstat.1.html





*Why not try to view which program is using memory try too use TOP!
