Process / Thread List with Memory Usage

[lukasbradley]

What command can I use to give a detailed list of all processes and threads currently running on my system, including the amount of RAM utilized by each?

'top' gives me the top processes, but I would like to see ALL processes. I can't seem to get 'ps' to list the memory used.

Any help appreciated.

try "ps aux"

or ¨top¨ for an interactive version of ps
also pstree gives u a nice tree structure

Be careful with ps and top, because they both overreport memory usage since they don't account for shared libraries and shared code (if you run the same program twice at the same time, the code is not needlessly duplicated -- it is shared between the two processes). As such, you will notice that adding up RAM usage for each process will come out much greater than the RAM usage you get with 'free' (look at the 2nd row, not the 1st row).
