An actual but where did my Linux memory go command;
This program
(repositories) came in handy while
helping someone resolve an problem. Want to
see memory usage and shared memory, perhaps
sorted by swap?
smem -s swap -kta
smem --sort swap --abbreviate --totals --autosize
What about on other categories running a --sort?
swap (amount of swap space consumed ignoring sharing)
command (process command line)
maps (total mappings count)
name (process name)
pid (process id #)
user (process owner)
pss (proportional set size including sharing)
rss (resident set size ignoring sharing)
uss (unique set size)
vss (virtual set size; total virtual memory mapped)
Bonus: A filesystem usage command to catch /tmp/ and tmpfs (temporary file storage) abusers;
df -h | grep tmpfs
df --human-readable | grep tmpfs
