Memory usage command

Hello. I have GeekTool running on my desktop and I want to display a list of the top running processes and their ram usage. I have the current command that works:
top -orsize -l1 | sed '1,11d' |awk '{print $2 " " $11}'
However, I want the usage in the RSIZE column to be all lined up. I would also like the RSIZE column spaced out a little from the COMMAND column, just to make it more readable.
Thanks

Hi--
Try printf instead of print:
top -orsize -l1 | sed '1,11d' |awk '{printf "%10s %8s
",$2,$11}'
See the awk manual for more information:

  • Memory usage of excel stays high after Macro is executed and excel crashes after trying to close it

    Hi,
    I'm trying to resolve an issue with an excel based tool. The macros retrieve data from an Oracle database and do calculations with the data. They also open and write into files in the same directory. The macros all run and finish the calculations. I can
    continue to use and modify the sheet. I can also close the workbook, however excel memory usage I see in the windows Task manager stays elevated.If I  close Excel it says: Excel stopped working and then it tries to recover information...
    I assume something in the macro did not finish properly and memory was not released. I would like to check what is still open (connection, stream or any other object) when I close the workbook I would like to have a list of all still used memory. Is there
    a possibility to do so.
    Here the code I'm using, its reduced to functions which open something. Functions

  • Memory problems: computer freezes on heavy memory usage

    Ever since I changed the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro (I installed a Seagate Barracuda 1Tb disk), I have the following problem:
    Whenever an application needs a lot of memory (for example Parallels installing a new Windows system, or Acrobat Pro optimizing a big PDF file), the computer progressively freezes. What I mean by freezing is that I can still move the mouse cursor, but clicking has no effect, and there is no interaction whatsoever with the GUI. Even the clock on the menu bar stops.
    I never had the problem before. I guess that under normal conditions the Finder will always keep a few Mb of RAM for its own use. After all I have 4Gb of RAM installed.
    Is there some way I can prevent the computer from freezing? Has this something to do with VM? Ever since I changed the hard disk, this problem happens once or twice every day, and the only solution is to force a restart, losing all my work…
    Thanks in advance for any advice…

    First, do not assign more than half your available RAM to a VM. It's best to let the VM software's configuration to select the amount used by its defaults.
    Second, watch how many concurrent applications you attempt to use. Monitor your memory usage in Activity Monitor. If the Available RAM (Inactive RAM plus Free RAM) is low and Free RAM is near zero, then you have too many concurrent applications running. This forces the system to start using the disk-based virtual memory file. With too many apps swapping into the vm file disk thrashing will occur that ultimately can lead to the computer appearing to freeze up or to actually freeze up.
    Of course your alternative is to install more RAM if in fact you are over-taxing what you have now. You may find the following helpful reading:

  • Massive memory usage when using latest version of final cut, 10 minutes after restart.

    Hey I am really struggling with using Final Cut Pro X and I suspect there is some software issue.
    I am editing a one minute video clip, the video files are 1080 h264. I restart my computer and only open final cut. After 10 minutes of editing I cant barely navigate my computer anymore as it is going so slow, until eventually I have to force reboot my computer. I can scarcly export anything out of final cut, when I do my computer feels like its about to die and if it exports I seem to get broken frames and/or missing media.
    I reinstalled my mac only about 2 months ago.
    System specs.
    Mac book pro.
    13-inch, Late 2011
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    On my previous mac book pro (early 2010, 4 gm ram), running snow leopard and previous versions of final cut I was able to edit 3, 1 hour documentaries with very little problem, but now I cant even manage a one minute clip.
    Not sure what to do. Here is a screen shot of my memory usage. Im getting massive swap memory and lots of inactive memory. It seems very strange. Especially after only 10 minutes running only final cut.

    FCP is only using 409 MBs of memory out of your 4 GBs. But whatever else you have open is using up virtually all the physical RAM you have. This is forcing the memory manager to page memory out to the disk-based VM file. That's a major reason for major slowdowns.
    You have 4 GBs of RAM. How many applications are you running concurrently? If you look at Page outs: you will note the positive number in parentheses. That means your computer is hitting the hard drive a lot because the memory demands are too high. If possible cut down on how many concurrent applications you run or put more RAM into the computer, if that's possible.

    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • High memory usage and error creating access rules

    Hi guys
    I'm having a problem with the memory and also trying to create some rules on the CISCO ASA. The version that I got installed was the 8.2.5.33 on a CISCO 5520 with 512 RAM, the memory usage is on 99% used, 1% free and because of that when I'm trying to create a new rule the firewall brings me the next error
    So what I did was a downgrade to the version 8.2 (4) 4 and the memory went down a little (82% used, 18% free) but I still got the error when I'm creating an access rule on the device. One thing and I'm not sure if this could affect on the performance are the number of access list and the object groups that are created.
    I already open a case with CISCO TAC and they are checking if the problem is with the memory capacity or maybe a memory leak.
    Also the doubt that I got is with the memory that I got now available should I can create access rules or 82 is still to hig to create a rule or and object group?
    Regards

    Hi,
    Can you check what is the amount of ACEs you have on the ACLs in use?
    I think if you use the command "show access-list " the first line should give you the total amount of ACEs in the ACL

  • Slow performance, weird memory usage, hanging when closing safari tab

    Hi, i recently noticed that my MacBoo Pro was with low performance after some hours of use.
    I'm a heavy user, so I try to monitor what might be causing it. What i note was:
    After restart (or fresh start), my computer was ok;
    I use applications like adobe Lightroom and VMWare Fusion;
    Then I star feeling like Safari was too slow to open pages - I thought it was the internet link first, but even local webpages are slow. I notice that when a click to close a tab, it take almost 2 sec to do it. The same when click to open any link on that page.
    I start the activity monitor, but my proc usage are low. Then, I notice the (weird) memory usage:
    Take a look at "memory used". I closed all applications before take this screenshot. i've trying to identify what is consuming this memory, but.. no success.
    Anyone has any idea what can might be causing it?
    My HW information:
    all my apps are updated.

    Memory usage was normal when you took that screenshot.

  • Sudden high memory usage, can't find cause

    I did a big update yesterday, and today I've started to notice very high memory usage. I wasn't keeping track before so I can't say how much it increased, but I've never had problems before, and the slowness and lack of responsiveness have been noticeable, though I haven't ruled out other possible causes for that. Here's the output of 'free -m':
    total used free shared buffers cached
    Mem: 7971 7826 144 0 1 149
    -/+ buffers/cache: 7674 296
    Swap: 9215 458 8757
    It wasn't as bad as that right after startup, though usage still seemed suspiciously high. What makes this whole thing a mystery to me is that none of my running processes seem to be using that much memory!  Here's the output of 'top -b -n 1':

    The relevant portion of my pacman log is below, since I don't know how to get just a compact list of the updated packages. Most notably, the kernel was upgrades, from 3.9.9-1 to 3.10.3-1.

    Okay, so it turns out that this was caused by the Catalyst bug described in this post. Reverting to the 13.6 version solved the problem. Lesson learned: if there's a ton of memory being used that isn't owned by a running process, start looking for bug reports involving drivers. Especially drivers known for being, well, pretty bad. Was there any method I could have used that would have told me that Catalyst was using all my ram, or is kernel-space memory usage pretty much a black box?

  • Excessive memory usage with FireFox 3.6.8

    Is it normal for the total memory footprint of FireFox.exe and Plugin-Container.exe to be 1.14GB (488MB and 651MB respectively)?
    When first opening FireFox, it's footprint is approx 30MB, but inexorably creeps upward as I browse (typically YouTube/Hulu/4chan/GMail), consuming nearly 60% of total system memory before performance loss demands a browser restart.
    Is there any workaround or update/patch or command-line argument that will cap memory usage? Will rolling back to an earlier version of FF solve the problem, or is it a problem with Flash? Any advice would be appreciated.

    This is caused by the Flag Fox add-on, you can either disable or uninstall it.
    # Open the add-ons manager - in the menus select Tools, then Add-ons
    # In the add-ons manager go to the Extensions panel
    # In the list of add-ons click on Flag Fox to select it, then either click on the Disable or Uninstall button
    # Re-start Firefox to complete the process
    Do you have Personas Plus 1.6 installed? If you do try disabling that one instead, it has been causing problems with add-ons.

  • High "kernel_task" Memory Usage

    Hello All,
    I am in need of help.  I have a MBP w/Retina from August 2012.  It has worked beautifully until a couple of weeks ago (I think maybe when I installed Mavericks), and it then started to slow down considerably. 
    I have noticed high memory usage by "kernel_task" but have no idea what that is.
    See the attached picture to give you the idea.  Please help me to get my MBP w/Retina back to being awesome again.
    Much appreciated.

  • Analysing SAP Java Memory Usage in Unix/Linux

    Hi,
    I need to analyze the SAP Java memory usage of Unix /Linux machine..NW 7.0
    Please guide with the commands and steps..complete prcedure.
    Based on it I should decide whether to create a new server node (or) increasing heap size
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Do you have performance problems?
    How many CPU's are in the server?
    Did you check Log Configuration for delays or errors?
    Did you tune any exisiting parameters?
    You can add the nodes only if there is performance problems. You may think of adding one node to start with
    Proper number of server nodes within an instance:
    u2013 #ServerNodes = availableMemory / (JavaHeapPermSpaceStack)
    You can calculate the server nodes based on below formula
    No. of server Node = (RAM you want to assign or available RAM in GB)/2.5 ============> for 64-bit system
    No. of server Node = (RAM you want to assign or available RAM in GB)/1.5 ============> for 32-bit system
    Hence as per above discussion, we should go with 5 server nodes means,
    5 = RAM/2.5 (Assuming you are on 64-bit platform)
    i.e. RAM = 12.5 GB
    2). u2013 Configure JVM heap according to Note 723909 and Note 1008311 - Recommended Settings for NW 7.0 >= SR2 for the AIX JVM (J9)

  • How to specify maximum memory usage for Java VM in Tomcat?

    Does any one know how to setup memory usage for Java VM, such as "-Xmx256m" parameter, in Tomcat?
    I'm using Tomcat 3.x in Apache web server on Sun Solaris platform. I already tried to add the following line into tomcat.properties, like:
    wrapper.bin.parameters=-Xmx512m
    However, it seems to me that this doesn't work. So, how about if my servlet will consume a large amount of memory that exceeds the default 64M memory boundary of Java VM?
    Any idea will be appreciated.
    Haohua

    With some help we found the fix. You have to set the -Xms and -Xmx at installation time when you install Tomcat 4.x as a service. Services do not read system variables. Go to the command prompt in windows, and in the directory where tomcat.exe resides, type "tomcat.exe /?". You will see jvm_options as part of the installation. Put the -Xms and -Xmx variables in the proper place during the install and it will work.
    If you can't uninstall and reinstall, you can apply this registry hack that dfortae sent to me on another thread.
    =-=-=-=-=-=
    You can change the parameters in the Windows registry. If your service name is "Apache Tomcat" The location is:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Apache Tomcat\Parameters
    Change the JVM Option Count value to the new value with the number of parameters it will now have. In my case, I added two parameters -Xms100m and -Xmx256m and it was 3 before so I bumped it to 5.
    Then I created two more String values. I called the first one I added 'JVM Option Number 4' and the second 'JVM Option Number 5'. Then I set the value inside each. The first one I set to '-Xms100m' and the second I set to '-Xmx256m'. Then I restarted Tomcat and observed when I did big processing the memory limit was now 256 MB, so it worked. Hope this helps!
    =-=-=-=-=
    I tried this and it worked. I did not want to have to go through the whole reinstallation process, so this was best for me.
    Thanks to all who helped on this.

  • How to find out CPU and memory usage for an instance?

    Hi DBA Gurus,
    How to find out CPU usage and memory usage for an instance?
    Any information is appreciated!
    Thank you!
    Robert

    you can calculate cpu usage by adding fallowing three factors which you can get from v$sysstat
    1. Parse CPU time : This represents the percentage of CPU time spent parsing SQL statements. Parse time CPU can be a strong indication that an application has not been well tuned. High parse time CPU usually indicates that the application may be spending too much time opening and closing cursors or is not using bind variables.
    2. Recursive CPU time : Sometimes, to execute a SQL statement issued by a user, the Oracle Server must issue additional statements. Such statements are called recursive calls or recursive SQL statements. For example, if you insert a row into a table that does not have enough space to hold that row, the Oracle Server makes recursive calls to allocate the space dynamically if dictionary managed tablespaces are being used.
    Recursive calls are also generated due to the inavailability of dictionary info in the dictionary cache, firing of database triggers, execution of DDL, execution of SQL within PL/SQL blocks, functions or stored procedures and enforcement of referential integrity constraints
    3. Other CPU time : This represents the percentage of time spent looking for buffers, fetching rows or index keys, etc. Generally, \"Other\" CPU should represent the highest percentage of CPU time out of the total CPU time used.
    total memory used you can calculate adding
    total_agrigate_area+sga
    memory usage on os level you can know by fallowing commands
    vmstat 5 20 depending upon os

  • Memory usage seems to be replicating with each sync.  My iPhone 5s is now full, although I typically only use half.

    When I went to upgrade to iOS8, I was surprised to find that my memory was full.  Usually it's only half full.  On one of these forums, I found a solution that involved a Terminal command to delete a specific library which returned my memory to the normal usage and I was able to upgrade.  Thursday I lost my phone, replaced and when I restored from backup the memory was again full.  I have not been able to find the command that rescued me last time.  I have found advice to restore and have restored various ways.  Each time I restore, the memory usage seems to increase by about 200mg so it seems that something is replicating.  It is not only "Other" that increases but also "Audio."  Deleting all songs didn't help.
    I sync both from iTunes and iCloud so this might be the source of the problem.
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions for ways to fix this? If I've already updated using my phone, am I just screwed?

  • Why is my memory usage quickly reaching my max RAM, even after a reboot?

    Okay so, I have a macbook with 8GB of RAM and just recently I noticed some issues while playing my gambit of online games.  Naturally I closed them out and checked my activity monitor and noticed that my RAM usage was at 7.99GB.  I figured restarting would fix this issue and for a moment it seemed to.  However my memory usage quickly climbed back up to very nearly 8GB.
    Now I am not one to fret over high RAM usage but in this case my entire computer is running slowly and most of my 'heavier' applications are refusing to launch at all.  My network is also seems to be choked, it was never fast but when I open a program that uses the internet I get maybe 5KB/s, laughable really.
    It seems like within a few minutes of using my laptop the memory climbs rapidly then I'm right back in the same mess in about 4 minutes.  This seems like some memory leak issue, but the odd thing is none of the processes look to be memory hungry.  All the processes in the activity monitor account for about 1.7GB of RAM yet the memory usage is already back to 7.97GB and I am just running FireFox and Safari at the moment.
    Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!
