I usually do:

    ps auxwww

and then sum up the "RSS" column. Multiply the result by 4096.

RSS is "Real Segment Size" and is in 4096 byte segments.

Hi,

I have coulple of Oracle databases running on IBM UNIX server. I could
calculate the total memory used by Oracle processes by running Oracle
scripts. Does anyone know how to get the TOTAL MEMORY USAGE for ORACLE and
NON-ORACLE processes???

Thanks in advance!
