How to find RAM usage of a user?
 
Hey,

I would like to know how to find RAM usage of each user? Any specific commands for that?

Thanks

Hi decenter,

You can use the following command to find the RAM usage by a particular user:

Code:
top -M -u username
The above command will show the CPU and Memory usage by a particular user.

But it returns error:

top: unknown argument 'M'

Which distro are you using. It works on my CentOS system without any error message. Are you sure you are using as -M. The command is:

Code:
top -M -u username

Just noticed that it doesn't work on my Ubuntu machine. You can run the following command in Ubuntu to get the desired info:

Code:
top | grep username
