Find Linux High Memory Processes

In Linux systems, you can use the following command to view processes consuming high memory:

1. To use the top command: Inputting the top command in the terminal will display the processes in the current system that are occupying the highest CPU and memory usage. Pressing the “M” key will sort them according to memory usage.
2. Combining the ps command with sort and head commands: entering the following command in the terminal will list the top 10 processes by memory usage.

ps aux --sort -rss | head

1. To utilize the htop command, simply type “htop” into the terminal to launch this interactive system monitoring tool for a more intuitive view of system resource usage.

By using the above method, you can easily view the processes in the system that are consuming high memory and promptly address them.
