HOWTO: Find the memory usage of a process
Well this was something i needed to do the other day and as I would not need to do it again for some time, and would therefore forget what i did. i simply wrote it down for later use 
Take a look as the man page for the command ps. Well thats about it really. Ok, a little more info would be nice.
What is needed is to change the format of the output to give the required information. I my case I wanted to see only the PID, user name, the command name and the memory usage. This will give the following:
ps -o pid,euser,comm,rss
Take a look at the section STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS there are a hole bunch of them to choose from.
